century. Care of Photographs offers a broad introduction to the history, 
technology, identification, and care of these and other photographic 
materials. Topics include environmental monitoring, the effects of 
temperature and relative humidity, and the importance of cold storage 
for certain photographic materials. It is intended to help those caring 
for photographic materials to gain a better understanding of their 
collections and how to care for them.
