keep them in dry cool place
you could always scan them onto your computer and put them on a cd or disk. Or you could also get a photo abulm with no acids in the covers and the paper, Wallmart usually has some good but fashionble abulms. Or if you do not want to spend much money just keep them in a shoe box or envelope in a dry cool place, and out of the sun.
You want to use a book that is of archival quality; no acid in the product. If they are of any value to you, I would suggest having them scanned or even re-photographed and put onto a disk for storage.
try a photo album.
store flat in a dry, cool temperature in a photograph box that is lignen and acid free
