Do you know how to handle your precuious photographs

Photos are great treasures to many of us as they hold untold memories that we cherish. To be able to hold onto these memorable memories it is our responsibility to be careful when handling our photos. Photos are very delicate and they are bound to stick together, get stained or discolored, or crumble when touched.

First, all pictures should be matted. This is to separate the photograph from the glass. If this is not done, the emulsion of the photograph will stick to the glass. Clean the glass carefully. Spray a cloth with cleaner and then wipe the glass. Spraying it directly onto the glass, could easily damage the frame, or the liquid could seep under the edge and damage the art and/or mat. Clean the Frames Regularly with a damp cloth. Hold onto opposite sides of the picture frame when moving a picture. Don't carry the frame by the picture-hanging wire,

The adverse conditions of attics and basements make them the worst places to store old documents. This is because sharp changes in temperature and humidity alternately swell and shrink the delicate photo paper while dampness allows mold to grow on your photos. On the other hand, dryness and heat cause brittleness, making the paper to break or split.

For these reasons store your photos in an air-conditioned room where temperature and humidity levels are kept fairly uniform. Store your photos on the first floor of your house as it is generally the coolest and most stable in temperature.

Do not hang or place photographs in places where they receive direct outdoor light. This will prevent fading. Wash your hands, which are naturally oily, before handling old papers and photos and avoid touching the photograph surface. Never eat, drink or smoke around photographs.

When removing photos from a bag or sack, hold the photos steady and still in your hand and pull the bag or sack away from the photos. Never pull on the photos. By pulling the sack or bag you will stress on the photos. Never store photos in an album that uses any type of adhesive to hold the photos in place. The chemicals will only speed up the breakdown of the photograph.
