DO keep working area and hands clean. DO NOT use self-adhesive or magnetic photograph albums. DO NOT use scotch tape, glue, rubber bands, thumb tacks, glued-on photograph corners, or metal paper clips on photographs. All can cause irreversible damage. DO NOT display photographs in direct sunlight.
Color photographs are particularly susceptible to fading and discoloration.
DO NOT label your photographs with a pen. Always use a soft-leaded pencil and write on the reverse of the image, along the margins. Identify photographs by who, where, and when. DO NOT put glass directly on a photograph when it is framed. Use a mat of acid-free board to separate the photograph from the glass.
