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.

This article, from the WHS website, describes how improper matting and
framing can affect photographs, etc.

Subject: Photo mold
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?
