Why not digitally catalogue old family photos from your albums and preserve them in stunning, modern and truly unique family history photo books<\/a>? For this old family photos hack, we’ve provided you with some handy tips. Happy scanning!<\/p>\n\n\n\n

How to preserve treasured family photos:<\/h4>\n\n\n\n
\"Old<\/a>
Don’t leave old photos<\/a> in the drawer or suitcase. Give them new life.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

1. Scan the photos onto your device<\/strong>. (You could also simply photograph them). <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Scanning<\/a>
Scan or photograph old photos<\/a> and then upload to Snapfish<\/a> as usual<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

2. Upload your photos <\/strong>into the Snapfish Photo Book builder. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Creating<\/a>
Drag & drop the photos to where you want on the page<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

3. Select a suitable photo book background<\/strong>. There are plenty of layouts (and even embellishments to choose from). I uploaded a Family Tree image I had created using some Photo Editing software. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"family<\/a>
Create professional looking family history books<\/a> in your own home<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

4. Add your address & enter a delivery method<\/strong>. Your book will be with you within a week usually. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"Your<\/a>
Nothing beats the excitement of opening your photo book<\/a> for the first time.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

5. Enjoy and share with loved ones!<\/strong> (Why not order multiple copies as a great gift idea?) I am delighted with how the book has turned out. I gave a copy to my grandmother on her 100th birthday and it was the best gift she could have ever received; she kept it by her side and kept looking at it.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"family<\/a>
Remember to capture the moment you share the book<\/a> with your family<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
