This is a solid recommendation.
Also, if storing digitally, there is the risk of inevitable hard drive failure or cloud storage issues.
I store old photos in photo albums, and print photo books off digital images. Otherwise, it never gets looked at.
Hard drive just becomes a virtual shoebox where images get lost.

If there are any of the paper originals that are really worth still keeping, then even though it wouldn't reverse any contamination from 1980 or so to today, good archival envelopes and boxes are pretty inexpensive from companies such as Light Impressions, etc. for future storage.
