I think you should be careful about using any glue on photographs that are valuable to you. Adhesives and photographs don't mix that well. I would suggest either corners or archival pages with pockets. You might check out Light Impressions at www.lightimpressionsdirect.com for ideas.

3m makes several types of spray adhesive that work very well. I would use the photo mount almost exclusively, it should hold forever.

photo mount spray is not an archival product to use on any photographs.. you may use PVA ..it is archival.. i would suggest archival glue sticks.. or even archiva photo corners.. you can purchase these products from Light Impressions..or try Lumiere Photo (changed their name from Light Impressions) .. just make sure its archival.. you may end up ruining something of value

I use transparent photo corners from Light Impressions. They are archival. They also have archival pages.
