Album Damage To Collections

I am a little concern after reading the following article. I know my album is on acid free paper, however, I am unable to verify whether it's
based on ISO 9706 certified paper. I am thinking perhaps rotate the stamps to new album once every 5 years. What do you think?

I would think that stamps in mounts will be fine. It's the hinged stamps that may have an issue. If it's really worrying you, buy some 100% Cotton Rag paper and print your own pages on that.

Nice idea. How about store it in Mylar Polyester sleeve and then insert into the album. Not cheap though.

But don't rag/cotton paper contain the bleaching agents used to whiten the paper? I was thinking about this recently. I'm certainly not any kind of an authority on papers but just asking?

Paper is not the only factor, but temperature, humidity, ..etc need to be taking into account. These factors can be analyze by scientific means. This is slowly becoming a high tech hobby too.

This has been discussed in some detail in previous threads ... here's one link:

The bottom line is that most people would find truly archival quality paper (as in ISO 9706 certified archive grade alkaline buffered paper) to be cost prohibitive for most stamp collections, as the paper can easily exceed $60 per package. As a practical matter, long term archival qualities that demand paper of this type is typically for museum pieces that are looking to last upwards of 300 years without deterioration. For most stamp collectors, that equates to more generations than many stamps will ever last, so it's not money well spent if you're just looking to mount and store an average collection throughout our lifetime (or perhaps even our children's lifetime).

Judge for yourself. Obviously, anyone is free to use whatever paper they so choose, but if this were an all important subject, one must consider that no commercially produced stamp album that I know of has ever used this type of paper and to my knowledge no one has lost a stamp collection because of it.

Thanks all for the helpful info.
