Re: Photo preservation question



Paul:

You might also consider polyester, commonly known as Mylar. All three are
OK as long as the humidity is maintained fairly low. In high humidity the
emulsions may well stick to the plastics. You tend to get into some rather
murky waters when you use paper enclosures.

Are there any different preservation rules for color photographs? More
specifically, are there any encasings (polythelyne, polypropylene, etc) that
you do not use for color photographs but are fine for black and whites?
