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,
