If you can seal photos and negatives/slides etc inside heavy plastic bags and add silica gels in with them before tightly sealing the bags, they will really help keep damaging humidity from your photos.
I am a photographer and use silica gels with photos and camera equipment. When I didn't I had serious growth-webbing on my slides and INSIDE my camera lens-- cost big bucks to clean!
The best gels I found are 'hydrosorbent 40-gram Silica Gel' that I buy at Lighthaus (yes that's how they spell it
Camera in Kona. I think they are about $7 each and they will mail them if needed.
