Jennifer has written a few articles on non-adhesive methods to mount photographs, especially photo corners!
Here is a video we created for our Archival Matting and Framing Course showing how corners are made and applied to mount artwork.
The main benefit of using photo corners is that no adhesive is applied to the artwork. Especially harmful tapes are never in contact with the supports or media.
You can access a free article on this topic here - Simple Non-Adhesive Methods for Conservation Mounting of Photographs. The Art Conservator Volume 5:2, page 19, Fall 2010.
If you have a copy of Platinum and Palladium Photographs: Technical History, Connoisseurship, and Preservation. Edited by Constance McCabe. The AIC Photographic Materials Group, 2017. You already have a copy of my technical highlight "Nonadhesive Mounting Methods for Photographic Prints ", co-written with Jennifer Jae Gutierrez from the Image Permanence Institute at RIT.
