Kalynn asked:
These documents are from 1943 when my grandmother had to auction her farm. They are on regular paper except a couple are on tissue paper like stuff. What can I do? I thought about laminating

Paper materials may be stored in acid-free alkaline folders, polyester film folders or alkaline mats. Alkaline paper or board provides a desirable neutralizing effect on acidity. The stiffness of the storage folder or box should provide adequate support to the item(s) in storage and transport. Since acidity migrates, acidic storage materials should be avoided, and highly acidic materials, such as newspaper clippings or telegrams should be isolated to avoid acid migration. Polyester film has the benefit of being clear and can also provide support, but is not alkaline. Polyester film can have an electrostatic charge which will cause damage to friable media such as unfixed pastel and charcoal, heavily applied pencil, and flaking media.
