Don't they make Scrapbooks anymore?

I mean the big ones with the pages made of paper - the only thing I can find now are Memory Books with plastic holders instead of paper.

I have seen the type you are talking about at Hallmark stores.

Pioneer Photo Albums makes the old fashion type with the buff pages or you can get it with white or black paper pages. No sheet protectors on these pages. The buff paper pages are style SJ-100, the white is SJ-100W and i don't remember the style number for the book with the black pages but their customer service department will help you if you call them at (800) 366-3686 Mon - Fri 8:00 am to 4:30 pm PST. They can tell you who carries this album in your area.

I can't help you with finding the scrapbook, but I wanted to make a suggestion if you don't mind. If you put pictures in your book, please use the individual plastic covers for each picture. I have two scrapbooks, one from 1910 and one from the early 50's that belonged to my great aunts. They pasted pictures into them. Some of the pictures came loose and there was writing on the back (a genealogist's treasure!) Now I'm trying to loosen the rest of them to find out who all these people in the photos are. It's painstaking and time consuming work to not destroy the photos and maintain the writing. I'm sure they never thought that 50 and 100 years later someone would be looking at those books for research. It would have been so much easier if they had the scrapbooking products back then that we have today. It's possible that your scrapbook may be floating around in another 100 years or so, too. It would be a shame if the pictures weren't protected.

If you go to an arts and craft store, I'm sure you'll find what your looking for.
