Henry Wilhelm has a website at http://www.wilhelm-research.com/ that documents
a wide number of articles on light fade and other fade mechanisms. You can
download his 700+ page book at http://www.wilhelm-research.com/book_toc.html
(free) or study some of the numerous articles.
The short answer - paper, ink, light and air all matter.
