Framed photographs



Hello listers-

Wanted to get some feedback on a topic that i am sure we have all struggled with.

We will be accessioning a large number of framed photographs in the very near future.  I would like to and probably will remove those photos from the frames, sleeve and box the photos.

For arguements sake lets say that the frames are of the Kmart 1.99 variety and are matless.  Is there any real argument for keeping these photos framed?

I am of the thought that removing them will be better presevationwise as well as storagewise and am pretty set on my course.  Would just like to have any additional thougths on the matter.

Thanks
