You might take a look at the "clip" frames from
http://www.quadroclip.com/quadroclip.html  They are reasonably
inexpensive and unobtrusive.  You mount your pix to acid-free board,
them sandwich them between the masonite-like backer board and the
glass or plastic.  (I don't know if this is non-glare.)  They make
custom sizes that are available with non-glare polystyrene, both 1mm
and 2mm.  I used these some time ago for a large show, and really
liked the minimalist look.   They were cheap enough that I gave them
away with a print purchase.
