Proper Poster Framing Technique?

Proper Poster Framing Technique?
I've read several articles from various sites regarding do's and don'ts for framing original posters. Several of the most common issues seem to be:
  • Archival Plexiglass
  • Archival Mat
  • Archival Backing
However, I have not found much information regarding how to properly mount/mat a poster in order to keep it from touching the glass/arcylic, which I have read is important. From what I read, it seems as if the poster itself should be glued to a matting or foamcore so that it does not come in contact with the glass/arcylic. However, would this techinque not ruin the poster, by using adhesive to mount it to the foamcore? Perhaps I am overlooking the obvious or just need a simple drawing, which I could not find, to explain the proper technique. If anyone could explain the proper technique to frame a poster, I'm all eyes.

I had my frame specially made at a framing gallery. I have an alluminum, copper colored frame around my "Outlaw Josey Wales" Poster. I had it matted to a board (that can't be seen), and ultraviolet protective glass, to keep it from fading. It's pretty damn sweet. I'm doing the exact same thing for my "High Plains Drifter."

I looked into a bunch of different possibilities, and finally went with what I thought looked the nicest, combined with value. To have it framed cost me $75.
