Preserving history will be your responsibility -

All photos are protected by temporary top-of-the-line, acid-free, PVC-free Lucite acrylic, screw down cases. These cases can safeguard your photos from casual damage (light, aging, and careful handling) for decades. However, these durable cases have limitations. they can protect for decades but better long term protection exists.

We purchased these cases brand new. Despite carefully being transported to museums, libraries, photo restoration consultations, and collectibles brokers, they have already acquired scratches. While these cases excel at protecting their contents, they are not designed to protect themselves.

We highly recommend that the buyer invest in even more permanent cases for long-term protection, for history's sake.
