We have some student newspapers from years past that are turning golden
brown and crumbling.  I am to the point where I am reluctant to handle them
or let anyone else do so.

Obviously, we would like to look into options for scanning or microfilming
these in the future.  The problem is that there is no money for anything
like that right now.

One thought I had was to photocopy the ones in really bad shape onto
acid-free paper.  This would necessitate taking these apart as they have
been bound.  We would then use the photocopied ones for reference and store
and/or encapsulate the originals.

I would appreciate any advice that you could provide.  These are our only
copies so I don't want to do something that will have disastrous results.
Thank you.
