|  Paper preservation for 1888 Supplements 
			
			Has anyone used a paper preserver for collectibles that would have a suggestion? I have three 1888 Sporting Times Supplements that are deteriorating and are in great need of some help to be preserved. This is not a case of trying to improve condition, this is about making sure they don't crumble away to nothing. I am in the St. Louis area and would prefer someone here so I didn't have to mail them, but am open to any suggestions. Thank You.

|   Quote: It really doesn't have to be in St. Louis, but I do want to get something done so they don't degrade into nothing. The only place I have contacted for a quote thus far is ACA (www.acapaperrestoration.com) in PA.

			One thing they usually do is deacidify the paper, which slows/stops deterioration.  A standard practice.
