Document Preservation tells you how to preserve those papers.
| PRESERVING NEWSPRINT see * |
Yellow and crumbling newspaper clippings can be preserved using this technique suggested by the National Archives and reported in
an edition of Tree Climber.
Mix 2 teaspoons of magnesium carbonate and a quart of club soda in a large plastic dish. Sandwich the clippings between 2 pieces of screen
or Pellon (sold in fabric stores) and soak for 30 minutes. Mop excess water with blotting paper and allow to dry overnight on more blotting paper. Then
store clippings in a well-sealed flat plastic bag. They should last forever. |
* Test for water solubility first by using a drop of water on text. If it doesn't run, then continue with preservation.
If a drop of water seems to dissolve the printing, then you cannot remove the acid from that paper using any of the commonly available methods. In that case, photo copying onto acid free paper might be the only way to
preserve the content of the document. There are no methods I know of that an amateur could use that do not involve water. |
| Another method to preserve new newspaper clippings: Mix one quart club soda with two tablespoons [unflavored] Milk Of Magnesia, ( or one [unflavored] M-of-M tablet with 1/4 cup of club soda) and refrigerate for eight
hours before using. Pour the solution into a shallow pan; submerge the clippings, one at a time (try placing pellon or net between each clipping for ease of removal), and let soak for one hour. Carefully remove each newspaper
article, and place it on several layers of white paper towel to absorb any excess moisture. Then move it to a clean, flat surface to dry completely. You could use a weight to keep the clipping flat, if you laid the weight on top of a paper towel that covers the clipping..
