Preserving Glitter
I'm a long time lurker who has never posted. I am an archivist (the only right
now) in the office of Sen. Patrick Leahy (VT). Sen. Leahy recently received a
hand-made card from a senior citizens' center. Because of this card's
attractiveness, we'd like to preserve it and possibly use it as a display item.
We'd like it to be something that people can pick up and look at. And, given
that it comes from a place that the senator has a special relationship with, he
will want to save the card long term. The problem is that it has a lot of
glitter glued to the front that tends to fall off when the card is handled. I
don't mind getting glitter on me, but I guess some people do. Also, it could
conceivably lose all the glitter if handled a lot. Is there a safe way to
preserve the glitter without losing the "touchability" and appeal of the card?
Thanks.
