I have been making use of information preserving old documents, is there any way to preserve very old Bibles? I have been told one I own belongs "under glass." It is in bad repair. I keep it in a trunk wrapped in cotton. Two others are in pretty good shape to be 150 years old, but I know keeping them in boxes, they will not stay that way. One has a leather cover which had a little mildew when I received it, and was in a plastic bag. Any suggestions?
