Preserve your photos correctly to enjoy them for years to come. Photographic prints and negatives should be placed in polypropylene or Mylar sleeves, or covered, from top and bottom, with acid-free paper. They should not be kept in direct contact with any other items. While you can use the acid-free paper to separate items that are in good repair, any fragile items should be stored in Mylar sleeves.
