It's also very important how and where you store your books and photos. The Wilhelm research will tell you how long the life expectancy is for each item when stored in 'ideal conditions'. I don't think it's possible for many of us to provide ideal conditions 100% of the time. A few tips are to store these things away from humid areas of the home, away from cooking fumes, heat, dust and harsh light. UV glass is best for framed prints and keep your precious items in one place and close to an exit in the event where you need to grab them quickly.
