Re: Long-term storage of framed photographs

I have been given a couple of documents to restore--some older high school certificates--and was wondering about the best way to output them when finished.

First, unless one is experienced and skilled in the complex methods of cleaning and restoring Ambrotypes or Daguerrotypes, it is wiser to take them to a trained and recognized Conservator..these old photo types are very succeptable to damage if handled wrong. That being said there are a few things an...01-03-2002, 08:55 AM
