In response to the query about preserving newpaper articles: I have two suggestions: 1) Request a copy of the Light Impressions catalog for archival supplies. 1-800-828-6216. There are several products available to deacidify paper. 2) Here is a recipe from the National Archives. I have never tried this but if I was going to, I would try it on something that wasn't important first. If the newspaper is falling apart, the best thing is to encapsulate it with mylar (also available from Light Impressions). Its easy to do and completely reversible. Encapsulating is not laminating! Recipe: Mix 2 teaspoons magnesium carbonate and 1 qt. of club soda in a large plastic dish. Sandwich the clipping between 2 pieces of screen or pellon and soak for 30 mins. Mop up the excess water with blotting paper and allow to dry overnight on more blotting paper. Susan
