I have an exhibit explaining the fundamentals of our archives coming up,
and I'd like to set out some examples of some of the more unusual materials
we collect, including a glass lantern slide; however, we don't have
UV-protective glass in the exhibit cases.  (I never put out authentic photo
prints for that reason, but only facsimiles or extra prints I don't mind
discarding.)  Am I right in assuming it probaby wouldn't be wise to put out
a real slide in that situation, but should perhaps consider a demonstrative
photograph instead? It doesn't have the same visceral impact, I know, but
I'm more worried about damaging an original.  Any suggestions?
