I've got a few signed letters, on paper (8X11 & 1/2) that I would like to protect & preserve. Any advice would be appreciated.

Itoya makes a great and affordable portfolio called art profolio advantage that come in many different sizes. I've used these for woodcuts, supplements etc and they are very durable and display well. There are also individual sleeves from them that zip up although more economical to buy the portfolio style.

Jeremy,
Vincent Murray (Historian, Arizona Historical Research) told me that plastic is not good for historic documents; it accelerates the deterioration. You should use archival quality folders. And I have noticed on all of these research "tv shows" that when they go to some institution that houses important historical items - the items are never in plastic sleeves... Always in archival quality folders.... Hopes this helps, Shawn |

I have quite a few paper items. I use Ultra Pro acid-free sleeves and put them in 8x10 toploaders. I also have a large binder or two of Ulra Pro 8x10 acid free pages full of lots of paper items.
On the flip side I have bought lots of items with really old plastic holders and most of them have turned yellow and/or brittle. I don't think these new types will do that. And everything is kept on a shelf in a dark closet. Where else you gonna keep some of this stuff? ![]()
