I would give them a quick rub with a duster slightly wet with a dab of silicone polish. Very little should do the trick, and give them a repellent surface.

Isn't this why many people put their photos in albums with clear plastic over each page?

Use archival tissue paper in between each, then place them in an archival safe storage box in a dry place. Moisture and acids from non-archival paper are your worst enemies.
