[BKARTS] Water soaked photographs katrina rita wilma

[James Pepper <Biblescribe@xxxxxxx>]

Ok we have a lot of people who come into the shelters and they have been  
talking about their ruined photgraphs and I have scanned a few for some people  
using an office copier   So what can be done generally to preserve  this stuff. 
 lots of people take them to photocopy them as they dont have  the money or 
the time to do this. If I can get a hold of them I scan them  with a scanner 
and do it right.  But what would you suggest for people to  restore what they 
have and how to preserve them.  This is a huge problem  there are people all 
over the place who are in this mess.  Basically they  are water logged.  most 
people put them into boxes and not move them as  when they are wet it will smear. 
 What can they do?
