Help with WWII rolled panoramic photo

vonnie Jun 7, 2019 3:35 PM

My cousin has a WWII poster sized photo of our uncle’s parachute team that has been rolled up for decades. Can you suggest a good person/organization who can safely unroll it without damaging it? My cousin lives near Riverside in California.

While we are unable to look at privately owned artifacts or recommend an organization to help you, you can find more information in the Preservation section of the National Archives website.
