Abstract: 200-500 words
Previous studies of albumin photographs prints print components (albumin, silver halides, and paper) have shown that the components of photographs have a great sensitivity to environmental factors, which make cumulative damage to the photographic materials where its accelerate chemical reactions which happened to the components of albumin photographs prints in libraries, archives, museums, whether for display or storage, That damage caused by environmental factors does not appear to long time where that change occurs slowly. As a result of the significant damage caused by environmental factors on the royal collection of king Farouk wish it had stored in Royal Vehicle Museum (applied study), in this research we study the effect of environmental factors on components of the albumin photographs prints using the examination and analysis devices to carry out the suitable ways to conserve and preserve the royal collection of king Farouk. This research focus on the proportion of the damage caused to the photographs as a result of exposing images of factors damage physicochemical result of the displaying and bad storage of images. The study focused on two types of assessments: Assessment of physical properties, assessment of tonal qualities, and assessment of chemical properties. I have been using the FTIR-ATR analysis, SEM-EDX, and Colorimeter to determine the percentage of damage. So were those analyzes applied to the albumin used as an intermediary for photographs to determine the percentage of damage on the image and albumin, which helps to develop a sound plan to display photo storage.
