Y'all mentioned "care of photos"....well I've got another concern.... I have an old paper copy of a Confederate Army discharge paper for my great-grandfather, William A. Richardson, which cites that he was born in Walton County, and was a farmer when he joined the army in Stone Mountain, and that he was discharged for medical reasons two years after he signed up (I found other sources that said that he suffered from severe rheumatism from sleeping on cold, damp ground during an extended tour of duty near Fort Sumter). Years ago, before I started researching my genealogy, I placed the document in a closed-end page protector.....some of the edges & text have broken off into "flakes" or "splinters" of paper, but currently reside at the bottom of the page protector. My question is, How do I reassemble this document and preserve it? Are there special "geneological" tapes or glues....etc that can be used? Are there any professionals that can do this reassembly/preservation? Regards.....Lou Richardson in Jacksonville FL - ------------------------------------------------------------
