Think two chess moves ahead, here:
Once you have them scanned, the digital copy is the one you'll want to protect. The original prints are too much trouble, as we see.
Unless someone in those photos becomes historically notable (you can't rule that out), the only thing someone in the future will want to do with those originals is to SCAN them!
But any future scan will inevitably start from a print that is degraded from your current scan.
