in a guided setting.<BR>Preservation topics include enclosures, handling
guidelines, environmental<BR>monitoring, the effects of temperature and
relative humidity on collections,<BR>and the importance of cold storage for
certain photographic materials.<BR><BR>Over 30 different processes are studied
