Store Photographs Safely with These Tips

Before the age of the digital camera, people would capture images on film when taking photographs. Once developed, the photographers would have strips of negatives and packets of prints. Too often, those prints would end up in a shoebox to go through later or be passed on to future generations.
Do you have a box full of old pictures lying around? Keep it safe with these ideas from GiftWorksPlus, the leader in custom frames and picture gifts.
It is important to control the environment in which pictures are stored. Colors fade faster in warm temperatures and in direct sunlight. Try to keep displayed pictures in a room with low humidity and a temperature between 50 and 75 degrees. For boxed photographs, archive them in photo-safe containers and keep them in low humidity and at low temperatures as well. Cool and dry are the keys to long-lasting photographic memories.
Keep photographs away from acid. That means not allowing photographs to come in contact with newsprint or other acidic papers when storing or even scrapbooking. Instead, make photocopies of important documents on acid-free paper and then include a photograph. Avoid adhesives, rubber bands, paper clips, pens, and markers.
GiftWorksPlus suggests making copies of favorite photographs and storing the originals away safely. Then, take the copies and display them in photo-safe custom frames.
