To attach your documents and photos to the pages of a paper-page album (dry mount albums), it is advisable to use appropriate adhesive to do the job well.
A double sided tape dispenser (acid-free) is a fantastic choice, as are glue dots for memory books. Do avoid normal double sided tapes as the acid level on those tapes are high and will cause yellowing at the edges of your photos within a year or two. You may consider photo corners too if you decide to have an option to change the photos in the future. However, do bear in mind that you can only change photos of the same size.
Do avoid household glue or liquid glue because the high water content will cause your pages to warp. You should also refrain from using normal cellophane tape or rubber cement because they are not acid-free and will deteriorate over time, lose their stickiness and leave ugly brown marks on your pages.
When purchasing an adhesive, look for markings such as acid-free, photo safe, archival, neutral ph or similar indications that the adhesive has long term archival properties, on the package.
