description The Royal Vehicles Museum contains five albums of Albumin photographs dating from the 19th century. These photographs are poorly preserved in the basement of the Royal Vehicle Museum which is located on one of the most crowded streets, July 26 St., near the Nile River in Cairo. Due to the poor storage conditions of wooden boxes without treatment, it is unsafe against insects and microbiological damage, so they are vulnerable to rapid because the albumin photographs are composed of organic and inorganic materials, which makes them vulnerable to rapid damage. This paper presents documentation, preservation, and conservation of albumen photographic print-outs. Temperature, humidity, and UV were measured in the storage area by Data Luger. The deterioration aspect of the Royal Album and the albumen photographs has been identified. A condition report has been planned to record all the archaeological and historical information belonging to the album. SEM_EDX was used to identify the surface morphology and determine the type of silver salts used. The microbiological test was performed to identify fungi and bacteria. Growth requirements are determine. A portable scanner has digitized albumen photographs. USB Digital Microscope strongly enlarge 300× has been used to identify cracks, crevices, dirt, and other damages on the album and photographs. A stereo microscope 500× shows the structure of albumin photo prints.
