11 Most Popular Archival Methods Blogs of 2015

Well, in looking back at the year that was, everyone seems to have a “10 Best” list of one form or another.
Not to be outdone, Archival Methods has an “11 Best” list of The Most Popular Archival Methods Blogs of 2015 (with a tip of the hat to Nigel, see above).
Launched in late June of 2015, Archival Methods’ blogs cover a wide range of topics including everything from preserving old family letters, photo albums, water-damaged books, 35mm slides, old newspapers, 8mm home movies, your art and photography portfolio, and everything you need to know about matting, interleaving, and finding a trained conservator. We even had a contest where we invited our customers to share their worst archival “Horror Stories” (see #7, below).
With over 39,000 read-throughs of our roughly 40 blogs to date (that’s a lot in 6 months, folks), we know we’re onto something when it comes to giving you blogs full of sound archival advice, each illustrated with crisp new photographs, and all tinged with just a smidgen of off-the-wall humor (pet squids, for example—go here for a further explanation).
We recently tabulated the numbers of visitors to each of our 40+ blogs and have listed them in order of their popularity, with the American Family Archives series of 9 blogs (thus far) doing particularly well by earning 6 of the 11 places on our 2015 list.
So, without further ado, here they are…
