I have not yet tried this method, but a retired archivist suggested the
following: Put some water in a trash can, then place another container
inside the trash can. Put the curled photos in the interior container
and leave the photos for a while. Then flatten the photos on a table
with weights to straighten them. I will probably use some folder stock
to help keep them flat. I'll be trying out this in the coming spring.
Good luck! JoAnn Hallquist, Archives Chair, Polk County Historical

Subject: Curled Photos
We have a few curled photos in our collection. They are usually 8 x 10
or larger and are curled into a tube shape. Does anyone have a method of
permanently straightening out these photos without damaging them?
Thanks for your help.
