How do you manage your collection of framed photographic portraits? (I'm
talking about photographs that are in their original frames...like the
wonderful gilded frames) Do you keep the original image in the frame? Do
you make an archival copy of the image? (Say for use in your library) Do
you separate the image from the frame and store them separately? Do you
re-mat the photos in their frames but with archivally sound backing
material? I'm curious. I'd also like to know if your perspective is that
of a curator, librarian/archivist, conservator, and so forth. I'm sure
there are varying opinions on this question. Thanks!
