Word origin

The word 'album' originated from the Latin word 'album', meaning 'white'. In ancient Rome, 'album' referred to a blank tablet on which public notices were inscribed. Over time, the term evolved to refer to a blank book for collecting things like photographs and stamps. In the modern sense, 'album' came to represent a collection of songs or pictures bound together in a cohesive unit for enjoyment and preservation.
