Dating Old Photographs in Genealogical Research

PHOTOGRAPHS: GENERAL CARE AND TIPS Photographs are actually fragile and easily damaged. Fading, stains, distortion, and other physical chages are signs of their deterioration. If you prefer the dramatic contrast of a black background, be sure to use an acid-free black paper. Before selecting storage materials, evaluate your collection. This may be as simple as sorting by value, uniqueness, year, or available negative. Do not store your negatives in the same place as your photo graphs. If something happens to your album, your negatives will be available to reprint your treasured family heirloom. Dirt, dust, and oils from you hands can cause permanent damage. You should handle prints and negatives along the edges, preferably while wearing white cotton gloves. Remove materials such as paper clips, rubber bands, and old newspaper clippings. Clippings should be photocopied onto alkaline paper. Note any badly damaged items, place them within individual folders and set them aside for professional conservation treatment. Do not use pressure sensitive tapes or glues to mend photographs. It is far better to make a copy of the print and store the damaged original. If it is necessary to mark a photograph, write lightly with a soft lead pencil on the back of the image. Do not use ink. Consult a Photographic Materials Conservator to perform repairs on broken, torn, or cracked photographs. If a photograph becomes attached to adjacent materials or glass, great care must be take to prevent further damage. Seek professional advice immediately. Lightly soiled photographs or negatives can be carefully cleaned with a soft brush. From the center of the photograph, proceed outward to the edges. Do not use cleaners as they will cause serious and irreversible damage.
