Twoicys asked:


I have four cardboard boxes. Two of them with documents and pictures. They have been under my mothers bed for umteen years and I want to store them elsewhere. They have some organization to them, but I want to take a few years and make copies, take measures to preserve some things etc.
Materials are:
-paper
-airmail paper
-pictures
-bibles
-leather gloves
-old lace
-a silver fox stoll
-a tiny leather bound book with well wishes written with a
fountain pen; pages very frail.
- my grandmothers memorabilia from teaching kindergarden. cards, pictures, craft items, several handkerchiefs given to her by her students.
any advice on preserving these would be great.
Thank you :) That is a good idea Ted. Thanks
