You may love your parents and older relatives dearly, but do not trust their thoughts, about family history. If you are in doubt about your familie's photographs "borrow" them and copy them or just forget to bring them back or use whatever ruse to preserve the past. You are not now tied to a great expense at a photo shop to copy old photos as many of the copy shops can do virtually photo-quality copies for very little money. Besides, this allows you to preserve the originals. Also you should store in "Acid- free" containers and be very careful with transparent tape, glue and "photo corners" If in doubt, contact a paper expert at a local museum. Some historic documents need to be sealed in glass, away from any sun or heat. Also, use thin cotton gloves to keep skin oils away from photographs. >> --part1_4a8b6c72.247600e5_boundary Content-Type: message/rfc822 Content-Disposition: inline Return-path: Davis1624@aol.com From: Davis1624@aol.com Full-name: Davis1624 Message-ID: <4a8b6c72.2475ffa6@aol.com> Date: Thu, 20 May 1999 20:15:34 EDT Subject: Re: MISSISSIPPI-D Digest V99 #229 To: MISSISSIPPI-L@rootsweb.com MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit X-Mailer: AOL 3.0.1 for Mac sub 84 In a message dated 5/20/99 7:50:20 AM, you wrote: <<old photos>> Friends and relatives, Please be careful to preserve old photographs.
