im not sure if this will belong here, or might have more to do with photo's. i have some bits and pieces i want to preserve for posterity, but am unsure of how.
1) a doctor's note from 1900. it says that my 3rd great grandfather ronald matheson, has to vaccinise my uncle andrew donald. it is dated 8th nov 1900.
it is a thin almost tissue like paper. browned around the edges. how do i preserve it?
2) some thick cardboard photo's from the 1860's-1902. how do i show them off? obviously i cant put them in a photo album, but how do i display them? put them in photo frames? how does everyone display them?
3) a thin cardboard, very thin almost like paper, memorial card. it is slightly larger than a4 paper, and is folded, and torn, and creased. it is from 1904, when my great great grandfather's little sister died age 6, from being smothered by oats. how do i stop this from being damaged further?
i would think maybe laminating 1 and 3 would work, but i think that would damage them. am i right?
