If you can piece it together, by all means make a copy of it. Even if you can't save the original you can at least get a copy. I have had several old newspaper clippings that are falling apart and I have gone ahead and put them on a laminate then made a copy on archival grade paper. If the newspaper is falling apart anyway, I don't think using a laminate is going to hurt anything, just to get a copy. Karen Mitchell 2000 has been declared "The Year of "Respect". Pass it on.
