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?
