Hey y'all:

I am inquiring about the best way to display a Lantern Slide, Circa 1890. It
will be incorporated into an new exhibit for the Alabama Historical
Commission.  It is a post war slide of a wartime photograph produced by
Matthew Brady for his "War for the Union" presentations.  The slide is 3
1/4" X 4".

I do not know the materials/chemicals in the slide and therefore I am
concerned about its public display.

If your museum has ever displayed a lantern slide, were you:

Concerned about light levels in the case?
Concerned about humidity levels in the case?
Try showing the slide in context by placing it in a lantern slide projector?

Regards,
