Hello,

I'm seeking an opinion on storage of large photographs. The photographs are
mostly color photographs or c-prints that are currently stored in a box.

They currently have acid free board and glassine between each print. Is
this a suitable way to store photographs or should I replace the glassine
with unbuffered tissue? It is my understanding that only black and white
photographs on fiber type paper should be stored with glassine.

I've researched this and found a variety of answers. Please let me know if
anyone has an opinion on the above.

Thank you,
Natasha
