Dear Friends, I have some old letters, pictures and newspaper clippings that are getting brittle. Can anyone help me with a solution to preserve them. I am very concerned that I will lose the information if I can't do something soon. I realize there are plastic sleeves, but is there anything I can treat them with? Thank you.

I've not worked with old documents and paper in a long time but there are certain steps to do and even the plastic sleeves have to be special. Most of the paper especially in the area of books are so high in acid that they will and can deteriorate in a very short time. No longer will books be kept to pass down on to our descendants since this new treatment of paper.
