[Digital BW] Re: Toxic yellow photorag!

2004-10-26 by john dean

---I used to work for the Center For Creative Photogaphy in Tucson and for a short while 
at the Philadelphia Museum of Art. 

In Tucson that museum was set up by John Schaffer and Ansel Adams to store the finest 
American art photography of the late 19th and 20th centuries for posterity.

What we did with everything ( including Eugene Smiths black cardborad drymounted, 
bleached silver prints ) was overmatt the prints with 4 ply rag board and rag mount. Then 
the prints were stored in a humidity and temperature controlled room in sealed boxes 
made by Spik and Gobork. Cold storage is best because it stops everything but is also 
impractical for showing work.
