Archival quality
Put simply, archival quality means that your photos will last to be enjoyed by your children’s children. As defined by the Society of American Archivists, archival quality means that our books are resistant to deterioration or loss of quality, allowing for a long-life expectancy when kept in controlled conditions. Our Photo Books and Albums are all of these things and more.
We honor the art of making by hand and the attention to detail required to make the lasting quality you love. All of our Photo Books and Albums are hand-bound in archival quality materials and stitched using techniques passed on from generation to generation of bookmakers. Equally our paper stocks are acid-free and from sustainable sources.
