A Device (6) for making an album (1), particularly of folded photograph sheets (3), covers (2, 5) and divider sheets (4), which are glued into the form of an album, the device (6) comprising:
- a) a horizontal body formed by a worktable (7) that is essentially horizontal;
- b) a vertical frame (8) comprising a guide (10);
- c) a carrier (9) that is movable vertically up and down along said guide (10);
- d) said carrier (9) further including a positioning-means, said positioning means comprising actual positioning elements (11-15, 20) that are movable horizontally backwards and forwards in relation to the carrier (9) and the worktable (7);
- and wherein:
- e) said positioning-means is configured to:
- i) enable positioning of a folded photograph sheet (3) with respect to:
- a) a first cover (5) or b) a divider sheet (4), which is located on the worktable (7);
- ii) enable gluing of said folded photograph sheet (3) at one side of the fold to an adhesive surface of the first cover (5) or of the divider sheet (4) against the worktable (7);
- iii) enable positioning of a second cover sheet (2) or of a further divider sheet (5) with respect to the glued folded photograph sheet (3);
- and
- iv) enable gluing of an adhesive surface of said second cover (5) or of said further divider sheet (4) to said folded photograph sheet (3) at the other side of the fold against the worktable.

A package (1) for making an album, comprising:
- two cover sheets (2, 5);
- a plurality of folded photograph sheets (3) between the cover sheets (2, 5);
- and
- a plurality of divider sheets (4), each of said plurality of divider sheets located between each of said plurality of folded photograph sheets (3);
- and
- wherein:
- the outermost photograph sheets (3) have been glued from one side to an inner side of a respective cover sheet (2, 5) and from the other side of the fold to a divider sheet (4);
- and
- the inner photograph sheets (3) have been glued from both sides of the fold to respective divider sheets (4);
- and wherein:
- the cover sheets (2, 5) are larger than the folded photograph sheets (3) and the divider sheets (4) for easier handling.
