Preservation Calculator for photo storage

Is your photograph collection stored in a safe environment? How fast is it deteriorating? Are your current storage conditions encouraging mold growth, fading, or other forms of decay?

Preservation Calculator for Photo Storage is designed to help you plan or evaluate storage conditions specifically for your photographic objects, such as negatives, prints, and photo albums. Use it to make decisions on where and where not to store photos. Prevent damage from mold, rapid fading, stickiness, or other environment-related problems by understanding the effects of temperature and humidity on your photographic objects.

Preservation Calculator for Photo Storage was created by the Image Permanence Institute at Rochester Institute of Technology, with support from Creative Memories, the National Endowment for the Humanities, and the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation.
