Question:

How do you preserve an already damaged and old newspaper clipping?

I recently came across a newspaper clipping from 1904. It isnt in the best of shape, but the article itself is a treasure. Does anyone have any idea who could help me find a way to preserve something like this? I would love to be able to display it, but I know that light can damage these things, and as I said, its already in poor condition, its very brittle!!

sure, get some clear transparent paper. And you can encase it in that. Otherwise, keep it at room temperature, but the plastic casing is the best.
