How to keep old photos from fading.

Protect your treasures from fading by following these four simple techniques:

1. Mount your photographs acid-free and with UV resistant glass that provides a space between the glass and photo.

2. Avoid displaying the original old photograph, instead, make a high-quality scan for your display copy.

3. Store your photographs in a dark, cool and dry environment - NOT in your basement, attic or garage.

4. Reduce UV rays, smoke and air exposure by keeping photos away from sunlight, fireplaces or open windows.
