Hi Everyone,

I work in a library/archives/museum and we have a display of replica photos which, due to age, have suffered some fading. Luckily- these are replicas!

I am researching steps to take to replace these replicas with new replicas. And hoping that we can cut future expenses by ensuring that the new ones do not fade so quickly.

Are there any steps that I could take when reprinting (from digital scans of the orignials) and reframing the photos to prevent fading? Are any papers better than others for this? Is it necessary to make sure they are framed under a sort of UV filter glass? (I believe that the replicas which are now on display are sandwiched between some sort of archival plastic sheet to act as a UV filter.)

Any advice about this matter would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

Audrey langham
