Storing, handling old photos
By

(MCT) Q I inherited some old family photographs. Some are in albums, some in shoeboxes, but most of them are very old and fragile. What's the best way to preserve them for future generations? How should they be displayed?A In general, don't take apart existing photo albums. Like diaries and scrapbooks, they tell their own story. Often they contain the handwriting of the person who made them. Do, however, replace photo corners in old albums if the photos are coming loose.The exception to the don't-take-apart rule is magnetic photo albums. They contain a sticking material that is detrimental to photos, and should be taken apart. Proper storage is important For photos that aren't in albums, buy archival-quality albums or storage boxes. Or store individual photographs and slides in polyester or polypropylene pages or sleeves. Acid-free sleeves or envelopes are another option. Make sure that whatever you use has passed a standardized "photographic activity test." Keep photographs in a cool, dry place where there is minimal fluctuation in temperature and humidity. Avoid attics and basements.To display old photographs Display copies of important photographs instead of the originals. If originals are displayed, minimize any exposure to light. Rotate photograph displays so that none are exposed to light for long periods. Turn off the lights when no one is in a room. Use lower-wattage bulbs. Place photos on walls that get the least amount of sun. Close draperies and blinds when out of the room for extended periods or when not at home. Use ultraviolet filtering glass or acrylic for framed photographs. Use an acid-free mat or spacer so the front of the photographs does not touch the glass.Storage Never use adhesives on your photographs. Mount them in albums with photo corners, polyester mounting strips or sleeves. Store negatives separately from albums and prints. In the event of a disaster, you will have two chances for your photographs to survive. Use a soft pencil to label photographs or paper that might come into contact with photographs. Handle photographs and negatives by their edges, and with clean hands, to avoid soiling the surface. For more information on preserving family photographs, go to: www.archives.gov/preservation.
