Photography Class – 12/7/06

Archival Framing– use materials that are all acid free and 100& rag (paper made from cotton rather than a tree)
-Put a mat around the frame to keep glass from touching photo.
-don’t place it where the sun will hit it.

- nice to use cream / white mat around photo, and create a hinge mat: tape photograph (around edges of pic, good to rather put photo corners) with acid free tape to mat, then fold over the front onto the pic.

- sign your photograph, used to only be able to use India Ink now can use pencil too (but not worth as much in an auction).
