[QUOTE="SeaGoat, post: 146825, member: 1136"]Yeah, I bought a velvet lined civil war era case the other day. The photo that was in it was all disintegrated to the point it was little shreds. Someone mentioned the humidity could have been the cause :eek: I found a relative of mine that doesnt have any decedents, but he has a ton of old family photos. We are a early Stone Mountain, Ga family. From about the 1840s till the early 2000s. Hes got all the photographs and last I heard he was going to donate them to the counties history center. Hes in his late 70s early 80s now. He asked if my grandmother and I wouldnt come visit him a few years ago, but she was busy at that point in her life, maybe now shed take the trip.. Ugh! I selfishly would like them to stay with the family rather than sit in the closet of the history center. The county is a really rough part of town now and if the history center ever closes, then what??? Mixed feelings.[/QUOTE]
