Re: old photocopies



Are you talking about Mylar. It has been over six years since I have seen
any, but I think it is a thick platic substance often used to print things
like engineering or surveying drawings on. It sometimes comes in very large
sheets which can be rolled up.  If it is not deteriorating, why would you
need to do anything else with it?

Subject: old photocopies


Dear List,

We have approximately 12 linear feet of copies made on old copy paper.  I
don't know what it is called, it has an oily feeling and a slight petroleum
smell.  My only thought is to copy onto to acid free paper, at a tremendous
cost.  Is there another way?  These copies are twenty to thirty years old
and don't appear to be deteriating.

Whatever help you can give me would be appreciated.
