Firstly, it's ni...Hi there 'justasiam'. Firstly, it's nice to hear you're interested in the kits ... very nice in fact! <br /><br />As for the question of archival quality ... I wouldn't think so. <br /><br />Everything in the 'Plundered Pages' vintage paper packs is original book / magazine paper - nothing is copied, so it's all in its original state. Which probably isn't acid/lignin free. <br /><br />That said - it depends on how you're going to use it and how much you need an assurance of archival safety. <br /><br />Personally I use anything and everything in my scrapbooking - including lots of vintage paper. My personal joy of scrapbooking is in the here and now, so I create for myself, with products which make me happy. I don't realy mind what they might look like in 50 years.<br /><br />That said I rarely use original photographs - only digital prints/copies - so if it's your photos you're concerned about then that's one way around it.<br /><br />I also use them on art journal pages, cards, collages, mini books etc where longevity isn't as key an issue.<br /><br />As for the actual papers they're anything from 20 to over 100 years old and - in themselves - they're in great condition. <br /><br />I'll leave it up to you to decide what you feel comfortable with - and to balance the chances of something not being considered 'archival safe' but which is something you'd like to use.<br /><br />Thanks for the great question - no one's asked before! <br /><br />Julie :-)Julie Kirkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02606220227331834682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-80477529090891095082012-07-18T21:15:21.472+01:002012-07-18T21:15:21.472+01:00Julie, I would like to purchase some of your kits....Julie, I would like to purchase some of your kits. My question, though, is are all of the items in the kits archival quality? I'm afraid that the vintage book pages etc. wont stay good. Do you have some advice for me before I purchase?justasiamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04995550534807741426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6789689551731499139.post-45059937089416255752012-07-18T02:16:27.785+01:002012-07-18T02:16:27.785+01:00I love the idea of themed paper packs, rather than...I love the idea of themed paper packs, rather than the usual random sampling of vintage sheets.
