Preservation help for very old publications
Hello -
I'd appreciate any feedback you might be able to offer on the best way to preserve old publications. I have a run of Spalding Guides from early 1880s to the 1920s and a run of National League Constitution books from 1877 to the 1920s. Also a few other rule books, DeWitt's books, etc from that period... Most of them are in great shape, and have been inserted into nice leather covers or simply re-bound into leather covers. A few others literally suffer paper loss and/or flaking every time I open them - and that is what I'm concerned about. I currently keep them stored in a Rubbermaid tub in an air-conditioned room, out of light. The books are all just stacked on top of themselves in columns within the tub. I only use at them a few times a year, usually when I'm researching something or just want to look at the old ads. Can anyone offer advice on a better way to store them? I feel as if there might be a better way to do it, but maybe what I'm doing is fine? Thank you, Brad |
