= Appendix | === Appendix B—Basic Care and Preservation of Photographs, Artifacts, and Documents === | ||
As you begin gathering items to help you remember your experiences in your life, you will find that soon you will have a good collection of precious items. Carefully consider the care and preservation of these photographs, artifacts, and important documents. All types of paper, including photographic and document paper, can be damaged by sunlight, dirt, dust, fingerprints, pressure, and general neglect. | |||
If you want to preserve a photograph or document, don’t display it! Make a copy of the item, and display the copy. The original should then be stored away from light and extreme temperatures. The following is a list of things to do and not to do to protect your photographs, artifacts, and documents. | If you want to preserve a photograph or document, don’t display it!
