We depend on housing to support & protect as well as ease accessibility to photographic  materials. Good choices are important and decisions depend on several factors such as type of photographic process, condition of the item, environmental conditions, budget and time. 

We will look at samples of housing materials and techniques for a variety of formats including cased, mounted, panoramic, loose prints and negatives and albums, then make some models as time allows.
