I'm consulting for a certain cultural organization in NYC that is trying to restore their historical photographs, thought you folks would be interested in seeing what sort of damage can result from poor storage and handling. I nearly had a stroke when they started trying to separate the photos from their backing using a carving knife, and had stored them in a humid basement pressed up against the plexiglass of poster frames etc.
