There are also some speciality suppliers in addition to Light
Impressions, which was mentioned previously. They include: Conservation
Resources International (8000-H Forbes Pl., Springfield, VA 22151),
Archival Products (2134 E. Grand Ave., Des Moines, IA 50317) and
Hollinger Corporation (PO Box 8360, Fredericksburg, VA 22404). We deal
regularly with Hollinger and are very satisfied with their products.
You should also note that photographs need to be housed in material which
meets the P.A.T. standards where paper documents are fine as long as they
are in acid-free material. Since P.A.T. material is much more expensive
than acid-free material, you want to set up a system that allows you to
use the more expensive stuff only where it is needed.
