What does archival mean?Updated 5 months ago

In the simplest sense, archival means that the materials used (e.g. paper) in constructing the

album will resist decomposing, disintegrating, or reacting to other materials over time.

In other words, an archival material won’t harm your photographs.

Specifically, an archival product must be acid free (a pH higher than 7.0) and lignin free and

proven to be stable over time. Merely being acid free does not ensure that a product is archival.

All Kolo products are rigorously tested to ensure they are genuinely archival.
