A good, regional source for professional restoration advice & service is the Midwest Art Conservation Center in Minneapolis. http://www.preserveart.org/
  Here is a good article on the care of photographs. Proper storage will help minimize the possibility of mold developing on photographs. http://www.loc.gov/preserv/care/photolea.html
  This article, from the WHS website, describes how improper matting and framing can affect photographs, etc. http://www.wisconsinhistory.org/localhistory/articles/matting.asp

We have a framed and matted photo which is on loan to us.

 

We just noticed that there are several white spots on the matting which appears to be mold. At this point we don't see any on the photo.

 

We have contacted the owner and he requested that we take care of the issue and he would pay for it.

 

Does anyone know how to handle this apparent mold problem?
