Photo display question

[Adam S.]

Hi Folks,

I recently got together my fledgling portrait photo collection and started putting them into an archival grade book with acid free photo corners. I am wondering what sort of paper I can apply to the pages to put between the pages so I can use both sides of the album pages.

In period albums I see this semi-transparent and often patterned paper that I thought was referred to as onion paper. I can't seem to find the modern equivalent with the search terms I've been using.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Adam,

I believe it used to be called pergamin paper but the modern equivalent is glassine paper. Check out this site:

Hope that helps.
