I was surprised at the great list of resources. One is http://www.photography-museum.com/archival.html this is the website of the American Museum of Photography-preserving and protecting photographs. There is some good information there. They recommend a company called "Light Impressions" as a source for information and supplies. A couple of the other sites on this subject also mentioned this company as being expert in techniques and having reliable materials for sale. --------------------- other sites: http://www.preservation.gc.ca/howto/articles/photos_e.asp this is a Canadian website: Preserving My Heritage http://www.retouchpro.com/forums/showthread.php?t=1068 this contains postings from people who have tried various techniques others have tried the water, either immersing or using wet sponges. http://www.pbs.org/opb/historydetectives/diy/preservation_check.html PBS pages on preservation etc of photos and links to other associated topics. the National Archives has information very similar on their site. there are more sites...with similar information...by doing the google search Dottie in WA
