Old Newspapers

Post by Morag » Tue Aug 23, 2011 5:20 pm

I'm sure this has been mentioned somewhere before, but not sure where. I have just been given some old photos, and amongst them were 2 newspapers from 1932 which had the wedding announcement of my grandparents. They are fairly yellow and fragile as they have been folded up in a box for many years.
Is there a way to store them which can somehow preserve them ?
Thank you for any advice.

Hi Morag

If you Google *Storing old documents* there is quite a lot of helpful information out there without having to read through tons before finding your answer ! Acid free paper seems to pop up mostly.
