Hi Alan I'll add my 2 cents into this. I have over 35 notebooks, all with pocket protectors, all acid free. I bought them at an office supply story. It is much cheaper. I do keep the original newspapers, but I photo copy them too. One day, maybe not in my life time, but someday, they will dry out. So I copy them to make sure I have a copy. Everything goes into the pocket protectors. This system has worked well for me for over 20 years. But check out the office supplies stores for the best prices. One word about finger prints. I had a photo of my ggrandmother, in the corner was a finger print. It was the finger print of my grandmother. It took a while for her to admit it, but her hand was wet at the time and it left her mark. What a great prize I have. Your cuz in time, Glee
