Hello everyone,

I will be hanging framed photographs in a humid environment.  I am not
hanging the originals, but would like these copies to be preserved for as
long as possible.  I do not have the option to hang them under better
environmental conditions.  What is my best option for helping the longevity
of the materials?  I read on a photography site that adding some desiccant
to the framing can help, but of course I also read on the conservation sites
that this is not a long term solution.  Do I have any viable options for
slowing the deterioration process in less than ideal conditions?

Thanks for your time!
Melissa Mannon
