One question I've been wanting to know about: do you know if it's better to have copies made of old photos, or should I use the real things? I'm somewhat loath to mess up old photos...
This one that I mentioned will be a lot of journaling, too, and I don't know if I should write the things, or type them. And the people I have no photos of - should I just use their descriptions?

It's better to make copies of the old photos. Store the originals in a acid-free box. If you are going to use original photos, please use acid-free tape or solvents(sp?) and scrapbooks. The name of the game is preservation.
I agree with JenMarie journaling appears more personal if hand-written but there are so many fonts out there that printing it out could look just as lovely.
Definitely, get detailed with your descriptions for the people you don't have a photo for.
