Art Tip for Photographs

Looking for some pointers to make your photos last a long time?
Don’t leave your photos exposed to the air. If you are storing them in an album, avoid the self-stick magnetic pages and PVC plastic covers. Even better, display your photos in frames, under glass. Make sure you use UV glass and acid free mats. This cuts fading from sunlight and prevents the photo from sticking to the glass. Keep photos out of direct sunlight and humid rooms like bathrooms and basements. And always keep them away from the intense heat that’s found in attics, kitchens or above a heater.
