Thanks. I agree, no interaction with the glass is the goal. I have seen some float frame options done in which the items are back mounted with archival tape etc to foam core or an acid-free substrate and a spacer is inserted around the edge of the frame such that the back mat board that is the background for the framed piece and the mounted items reside in the space between mat and glass without touching glass.
