Finding Photo Mount Board for Photography
Finding Photo Mount Board for photography. Art and photo storage, when done properly, will preserve your prints and paintings for decades. This also includes framing for display as well as archival storage. What is typically referred to as “the ravages of time” are actually a combination of factors that include environmental pollutants and contaminants, humidity, acids in mounting materials and temperature fluctuations. Following proper photo storage procedure will ensure that your art and photo prints will be preserved for generations to come.
Archive or Display?
If you are planning to simply store or archive your photos, paintings or prints (generically known as “artifacts”), you need to know that there’s much more to photo storage than simply dumping them into a cardboard box and putting it into closet, attic, basement or garage. You’ll want specially designed and constructed archival storage boxes. Such containers are made from high-quality acid-free materials and treated with an acid-resistant buffering agent with a high pH level in order to neutralize any acidic pollutants that might sneak in from the outside atmosphere.
In order to keep photos from warping or curling, it’s a good idea to mount them on a piece of acid free mount board as if it were going to be framed, then placed into clear bags similar to those used by collectors of vintage comic books, after which you’ll want to stack them neatly into archival storage boxes before storing these in a clean, dry environment that is ideally free from wide temperature variations.
Different Kinds of Mount Boards
Bainbridge mat board is generally considered the best quality photo mount board available. These are 4-ply mat and mount boards with cores that have been treated with alkaline buffering agent. If used for archival storage, you’ll want to choose a plainer kind, since the more decorative varieties suitable for framed works are more expensive.
Foamcore mount and mat board are easier to work with and less expensive. If other precautions are observed, these may be adequate for the purposes of archival photo storage.
A Quick Review
Whether framing for display or storing for archival purposes, the principles of effective photo storage are the same. Avoid:
- Humidity
- Acids
- Environmental Contaminants
- Ultraviolet Light Exposure
- Temperature Extremes
Keeping these issues in mind will ensure that your photo storage method will keep your artifacts in pristine condition for decades, a legacy to be enjoyed by future generations.

The Awe-inspiring Mount Wellington - Hobart’s Icon
The state capital of the island state of Tasmania, Hobart is the second oldest capital city of Australia. Hobart is Tasmania’s financial and administrative centre while it is also the home port for the French and Australian operations in the Antarctic. The city is located in the Derwent river estuary while its skyline is almost completely dominated by the awesome, 1271 metre high Mount Wellington. Almost the entire city is built on the foothills of the Mount Wellington and is simply referred to as ‘the Mountain’ by most Hobart residents. In actual fact, Mount Wellington is to Hobart what the Eiffel Tower is to Paris and what the Statue of Liberty is to New York.
The mountain was earlier known as the Table Mountain until it was named in honour of the Duke of Wellington in 1832. Mount Wellington is covered in snow throughout most months of the year with its lower slope areas being covered by dense forests. There are quite a few walking trails across the mountain while a narrow roadway also leads visitors to the top to witness the spectacular scenery.
For most of the last century, the Mount Wellington was one of the most popular picnic and day resort areas for Hobart residents and many picnic huts and chalets were built here. These huts were completely destroyed during the great bushfires of 1967 and only a few modern huts are available and open to the public at present. This includes the Springs, the Pinnacle and the Chalet.
Offering the ideal Hobart holiday accommodation option to business and leisure travellers alike, the Somerset on the Pier is located on the Hobart waterfront with stunning views of the River Derwent and the Sullivan’s Cove. The property’s Hobart serviced apartments are spacious, elegantly furnished and feature thoughtful amenities that will ensure that guests have perfectly relaxed and enjoyable stay here.
