Abstract
The potentially harmful effects of storage enclosure materials and adhesives on photographs are reviewed. The specifications for enclosures provided in ANSI Standard IT9.2 are summarized. Recent research at the Image Permanence Institute has yielded a greatly improved accelerated test method to evaluate enclosure quality. The results of using the improved Photographic Activity Test on 90 enclosure materials, including 66 archival products, are given. Practical guidelines for archival managers on choosing photographic enclosures are also given.
