    Default Preserve Old Newspaper Clippings....

    I found this online today and was wondering if anyone had ever tired it. It says to do a test first but just wondering if anyone has ever heard of it or tried it. I have some old clippings that I would like to preserve.


    HOW TO PRESERVE OLD AND BRITTLE NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS


    Dissolve 1 milk of magnesia tablet in 1 quart of club soda.

    Let stand overnight

    Stir well and pour into a shallow pan

    Lay newspaper clipping flat in pan and soak for 1 to 2 hours

    Carefully remove and place on soft towel to dry

    The clipping will remain preserved for several decades.
    *Note: always test procedure on a test page first.
    "Success on any major scale requires you to accept responsibity."

    Another tip I read was to put them in a cardboard box with sheets of acid free paper between each paper.
