Can you imagine how many family photos are stored in basements, closets and attics around the country? Add in all the boxed-up photo slides, negatives, 8mm films and VHS video tapes and the figure grows exponentially. While we can't quote an exact number, suffice it to say that there are a tremendous amount of precious family memories tucked away somewhere - everywhere - for safekeeping.
The problem is, most of them aren't really all that safe. Photographs and other media – including negatives – naturally deteriorate over time, especially when stored improperly. Humidity, dust, temperature, pollutants . . . even fresh paint fumes can cause damage such as staining, cracking, flaking or fading, and while some damage can be reversed by a professional conservator, other problems, such as that caused by prolonged exposure to sunlight, can be cumulative and irreversible.
But there is good news . . . there are steps you can take to greatly prevent deterioration of your originals, as well as to utilize state-of-the-art methods to ensure that your family's heritage is safe from damage or disaster and is preserved for future generations to enjoy.
