Use small pedestals and platforms to call attention to certain items. When displaying books, be careful not to put too much strain on the bindings. If you want all sides of an object to be visible, add a mirror. A standard archival mat consists of a backing board and a window overlay joined along the longest edge at the top or side with linen tape. The item being displayed is attached to the backing in a safe, reversible manner.
Color prints are extremely light sensitive.
Photographic reproductions can be glued. Dry mounting is smooth in appearance and durable. Don t clutter a small case with individual captions for each object. The title of the exhibit should be one of the first things the viewer notices. Use 12-point font or larger for labels.
