Do your portraits have to be under glass? Our small museum has a section
we call "People who made a difference" where we have portraits, some 5X7,
some 8X10 of individuals or a family in one case flush mounted on
masonite covered with double stick film acquired from CODA in New Jersey.
A couple of the pictures are showing their wear and tear since they were
mounted by velcroe in 1996, but we have the copy negatives of the older
photos and can print another copy whenever we want.

Just a suggestion. :-)
