Re: Newspaper clippings



Being a historical home with special collections, we have photocopied most
of the newspaper clippings, but we also save the clippings separate from the
rest of the collection. The reasoning behind saving our newspapers is that
we might use them to reproduce for exhibit. Our collection still needs some
work to get it organized, but at least the information is saved. We haven't
touched the scrapbooks with newspaper clippings yet. The most I can suggest
is slowing down things with a piece of acid free paper between the pages.

I would be interested in hearing more about this. I have a number of
newspaper clippings, and although I agree that keeping the original as long
as possible and making a copy on acid free paper is the right thing to do,
the clippings are frequently much larger than my copier. In addition, many
others are glued into a scrapbook which is impossible to get onto the
copier, not to mention some of them overlap, so I would have to fold the
ones on top to make copies of the ones further down. Anyone have any bright
ideas?
