The best thing I can find is ISO standard 14523 which relates to the Photographic Acidity Test. The US Library of Congress, who are pros at archiving important documents, spec the following for photographic boxes which are used to store important photos. The same conditions probably apply to your case. With regards to acidity, "The paper stock should have a pH of value within a range of 8.0 - 9.5 as determined by TAPPI T 509 om-88, cold extraction (modified by slurrying sample pulp before measurement)." From personal experience, acid-free paper is the way to go. Almost all photographic shops sell it, many mountings are acid-free, and so on, so you should have no problem finding these materials. The quote listed above comes from this site: http://lcweb.loc.gov/preserv/supply/specs/300-361.html The root directory is at: http://lcweb.loc.gov/preserv/supply/specs where you can find all your heart's content on how to preserve documents of any type. Cheers! |
