If you decide to take them off the pages, then I would recommend you have a conservator do it. Also, even if you decide to keep them on the pages, I would still recommend you have a conservator examine the item. It is possible the pages contain chemicals that over time could denigrate the condition of the photos. If that is the case and you still want the photos to stay as they are, then a conservator can install a protective layer between the photos and pages.

EDITED to add that if I had the item I would want the photos to remain on the pages.
