Have you ever took a look at your photos in drawer (or whatever you put your photos )and see how quickly they become unorganized .Do you wish that they stay in place every time you organize them. Well there are many ways to archive that .
1- you can put them in an albums.
2-sort and store them in categories (as i will show you here ).
Sorting your photos in albums is a good way to show / preview your photos so that whenever you want to recover your memories back you can easily grab your album and flip through the pages.
From my opinion I prefer if you wrote at least one detail under every photo (date /place /event ...etc).this way it becomes easy for you to recognize the day (day when photo was taken ) specially years after . Who doesn't have pictures of himself when he was 3 ,5,or even 10 years old and doesn't remember when or where it was taken ?!
*If you have a photo of yourself when you was very young and doesn't remember when or where it was taken , you can simply ask an older person who would remember.
Sorting home photos in categories is an easy task you can do it by yourself
step1:Gather Loose Photos And Photo Albums From Around House Into one place
If you're like many people, you've got loose photos all around your home. the first step in the Organize home Photos is to gather your photos and photos albums that need to be sorted all into a one place
step2: get all your tools handy
Tools:
1- scissors
2- cardboard paper (i prefer white )
3- stapler
4- glue
5- sticky notes to label envelopes (colorful will make it brighter since card board is white)
6- pen
7- working space
8- archival boxes acid-free, archival-quality cardboard
you can use the archival box if you want , i just put them in my drawer .

1- first start with bending card board paper into two halves such that it should be able to hold two photos near each other (take extra 2-3 centimeters in consideration)
3- cut the card board (along the trace of the second bend we did ) using scissors.
4- stap the two sides of card. Board leaving one end Repeat the above steps for all the cardboard you have ( don't cut more than you need or you are going to waste your paper ,just try guess how much you need
if there was a lack of paper ,make more ...... and so on).
after staping the evolve from two sides ( use a small stapler pins you don't want to end with big stapling pin Prominent from your project ,it will look bad and you may cut your hand ).........and you are ready for sticking the tags.
5- Apply the sticky notes on the center of your project using glue (i used normal school glue) to make sure it is perfectly glued.
*you can choose any color of sticky notes ,but my advice is to use different colors.
7- write your note (the description of each category of photos) i used normal pen but you can use sharpie and voila ......you are done .
After you finish it should look like something like this
