photo album

Bound snapshot keeper

A photo album is a book with pages designed to hold photographs, typically arranged chronologically or by theme.

Traditional albums have adhesive pages or corner mounts; modern ones often have plastic sleeves.

The term extends to digital collections: I made a photo album of our vacation on my phone.

Albums preserve memories for display and sharing.
