A photographic album or photo album, is a series of photographic prints collected by an individual person or family in the form of a book.[1][2][3] Some book-form photo albums have compartments which the photos may be slipped into; other albums have heavy paper with an abrasive surface covered with clear plastic sheets, on which surface photos can be put.[4] Older style albums often were simply books of heavy paper on which photos could be glued to or attached to with adhesive corners or pages.[4]
