* Use archival inks and glues acid free (not only looking the best results for your photos or works also because it helps preserve the nature)
* Take care not to throw anything that could be used, given away or reused later (if your stash is beginning to be uncomfortable to storage it, you don't use it in years or simply you don't like it anymore give it!! or sell it! or simply recycle it! any solution is better than throwing away.
