Best way to display in-between frames that protects them long-term?

Should I look into a special kind of frame or anything of that nature? I am brand new to this. Here is what it is: https://imgur.com/n8VLFnR

I'm not an expert or the most seasoned at this, but considering you're framing a sketch instead of a cel, you have a lot more options that are safe for preservation. At that point, I think almost any frame would work as long as you don't have it in direct sunlight.

As with cels those sketches I have framed are "floated" between 2 mats that way they don't sit against the glass/plexiglass and the backing material of the frame.

Always UV protected glass/plexiglass but still do be careful of sunlight/strong electric light for besides heating/drying out the paper it will also fade lines and colors.

Is there a guide on how to do this "floating" somewhere?

And any particular brands for the frames you recommend?

Thanks!

Floating just involves using 2 mats that are the same size with cutouts slightly smaller than the cel or sketch. "Sandwich" the art between them so when you install them into the frame the art does not touch the plexiglass or the frame backing. The tension when you install the backing with the spring tabs that hold it in place will keep the cel/sketch from moving.

I don't have any set frame brands I use.
