Collection looks great. Dont go overboard with the UV glass and such, its not like you are framing the constitution or something (I dont meant that to come off that your collection isnt valuable, just that sometimes people spend alot more on their framing than what they are framing is worth, it can get very expensive). Like the other posters have said, make sure that everything that is touching the photos is acid free. you will find products at places like Michaels that are acid free, specifically made for photos. makes sure it says it.
I read on autographmagazine.com that there is product that is a cheap alternative to UV glass called
Picture Shields. They have a good explanation about fading, and their prices seem reasonable. I found a 10% discount code (autograph1), although I dont know if it still works. I have never tried the product, so you should do some research.
Either way, good luck and have fun.
Again, great job!
