Dry mounting is a technique where the photograph is adhered to a rigid backing, such as foam board or mat board, using a heat-activated adhesive.

Wet mounting involves using a water-based adhesive, such as starch paste or wheat paste, to attach the photograph to the backing.

Lamination provides increased durability and protection to the photograph by encasing it between two layers of transparent plastic.

Float mounting typically uses acrylic sheets as the backing material, allowing the photograph to be suspended between two layers of acrylic.

Peel-and-stick mounting utilizes a self-adhesive backing that is peeled off and attached to the backing board, making it a convenient and easy-to-use technique.

Mat boards serve as a protective barrier between the photograph and the backing board, preventing direct contact and potential damage.

Hinge mounting utilizes hinges to attach the photograph to the backing board, enabling the photograph to be viewed from both sides.

Backing boards provide support and rigidity to the mounted photograph, ensuring it remains flat and stable over time.

Frame mounting utilizes a frame to hold the photograph in place, allowing for easy removal and replacement of the photograph.

Spacers are used to create a gap between the photograph and the backing board, allowing for air circulation and preventing the photograph from sticking to the backing board.

Adhesive mounting utilizes a specialized adhesive to permanently bond the photograph to the backing board, creating a strong and durable bond.

Conservation-grade mounting techniques prioritize the preservation of the photograph's original condition, using materials and methods that minimize damage and ensure longevity.

Float mounting utilizes a specialized frame that allows the photograph to be suspended within the frame, creating a three-dimensional effect and adding depth to the image.

Backing boards provide support and rigidity to the mounted photograph, ensuring it remains flat and stable over time.

Adhesive mounting utilizes a specialized adhesive to permanently bond the photograph to the backing board, creating a strong and durable bond.
