What is the best way to preserve OLD photographs and scrapbooks from before WWII… and postacards from 1910?
I have a bunch of stuff recently acquired from my family that I want to preserve in the best possible fashion what should I do… The scrapbook I do not want to take apart since it was put together my my great-grandmother in the 1930’s A: I have a small collection of old postcards and paper money, and let me share with you what I have been using to protect them. For the paper money and old postcards, and I guess the same applies to old photos, I would normally insert them into thick OPP plastic sheets of the exact size, then place each of the OPP-protected items onto Prinz stock cards. Like this one here: http://www.michaelkay.co.uk/stamp/sts/prinzsystem.htm I would then insert these Prinz stock cards into folders. As for the scrapbook, I have no experience on how to protect it, but using the same method of protecting books, you could place mothballs near your book to protect it from silverfishes.
