Very carefully take tohose pages and get copies made of them--I had some
old deeds 100 years old--that were falling apart that I had color
copied--I framed the copies and they look really neat. Store your old
pages in acid proof sleeves--I have ordered from Light Impressions--I just
looked at the catalog and their web sight which I have never looked at is
http://www.lightimpressionsdirect.com

Again--copy newspaper clipping at once. You can soak in a T of milk of
magnessia sp? to 1 cup of water--this takes the acid out. I received a
clipping from World War II--it did a marvelous job with what was left of
the clipping---I did this to my daughters wedding anouncements about 8
years ago and they look marvelous.

Just for a smile--I use a lot of this to take acid out of paper--there was
a sale on milk of mag at rite-aid--I bought 2 large bottles--I didn't
realize why the lady was smilling so much when I bought them until I got
home or I would have explained.
