Making Writing in Pencil on Black Photo Album Paper Readable Association for Library Collections & Technical Services (ALCTS)

Dear Donia, How can I make faded pencil writing on black photo album paper clearer to read? Q. Dear Donia, I have multiple family photograph albums with the black pages used in the early 1900s. My grandmother marked identifying names and dates in pencil on the black photo album paper. I can no longer read most of them. Is there anyway to the make this faint pencil writing any clearer or darker? Thank you so much, Donna A. Dear Donna, Black photo album pages like this are common as is the practice of writing names or other identifying information in pencil.
