Subject: preserving digital photo printouts
Hi everyone! I am an intern working at the Long Island Studies Insitute at
Hofstra University. I am working on our 9/11 collection, which includes
quite a bit of electronic information, including digital photos.
We have decided to print the digital photos rather than preserve them in
their digital form. I am concerned about the best way to preserve them. I
suggested mylar encapulation, but the head of the archive said
that perhaps the static form of the mylar would lift the color. Does anyone
have any experience with preserving digital photo printouts?
Thanks for your help.
