Conservation of paper….

Conservation of paper is a tricky business, but here are a few basics you can do

Thats the line that caught my eye in a recent article in the Columbia Tribune site. The article is entitled “Special steps needed to preserve documents” and is written by Nancy Russell, a co-owner of Friends Together Antiques in Columbia, Missouri.

It’s an interesting article about Ephemera and preserving family records. She points out that if the paper is already crumbling, theres little to be done to save it. “What we must do is learn how to preserve paper documents, called ephemera, before they get in this condition.”

I’d say it being worth the read.

I’m Tom Murphy and thanks for helping me give Ephemera the Encore it deserves.
