I'm a professional photographer, so maybe I can help.
If you have prints, the main thing you want to do is avoid moisture.
The other thing you want to do is NOT USE STICKY ALBUMS.
I can't emphasize that second point enough. Please please don't put your prints in those magnetic albums. They're death on prints.
What I would suggest is buying the acid free photo boxes you can find at Michaels or other craft stores. Make sure that they are acid and lignin free, like these:

Then get yourself some silica gel. That's those little packets that come in the box when you buy any electronic items. You can buy the packets or you can buy a large can of it at Michaels:

If you buy the can, just put 1 Tbsp of it into a small baggie and leave it open in the box with the photos.
The silica gel is a desiccant and will absorb excess moisture, which is what makes your photos stick together.
Then, finally, make sure that you store the boxes in a *dry*, but not hot location. Attics and basements are the WORST places ever for photographs. I keep mine in a cedar chest in my bedroom (cedar chests and dresser drawers are actually really good locations for boxes and albums).
That's how I store all my personal photographs and all the family photos I've inherited.
