1958, was the year of box cameras, black and white prints, poodle skirts, pompadour hair styles, and the first year of business for the Ben Parker Company.

Founded on the premise, "photographs are memories, and people value these memories", Ben Parker created a photo album which displayed the photographs of these memories in the best possible way.
These basic concepts are still being used today, 43 years later:

• The highest quality in materials and hand-crafted construction, now called ARCHIVAL storage has always been a part of the Parker heritage.
• Twenty ring binders that offer years of convenient, flat, easy to use viewing.
• A slipcase for additional protection from heat, sunlight, and dust.
• A flexible convenient design allowing the preservation and storage of many different sized photographs in the same album. Parker Albums now offers 24 different pages and all will fit in the standard Parker album.
• Every Parker Heatseal page is made from lignin free, pH neutral, heavy vellum paper for the absolute safety your photo memories deserve.

This unique photo album design has grown into what is now; a comprehensive storage and display system with scrapbook pages for clippings, invitations, and mementos.

A negative file for in-album storage of negatives corresponding to the displayed prints.

Plus many other accessories designed to move your prints from the shoebox into an organized way of protecting and presenting your memories. The varied uses of this system are limited only by your creative imagination. Post cards, hotel brochures, travel folders, match covers, and other "pocket fodder" affixed to a scrapbook page using patented Parker Peel-off adhesive strips can all be used to create title pages, memory reminders, and a guide to organizing your pictures to match your travels or events. Adding comments of dates to the ample white space surrounding each photo makes the memory complete and readily available for sharing with friends and family.
