Any ideas on what to do to preserve scrapbooks and still look at them?
I have several excellent 1930s scrapbooks that I really like. Being made of low end paper and nearing a 100 years old they tend to leave a pile of paper chips every time you turn a page. If the pages are loose sometimes I’ll display a single page. I recently bought one with great 1932 World Series clippings. The pages are pretty much all loose and there are some neat clippings not glued in. This one is basically 8-1/2 x 11 so I can probably get plastic pages and put the individual pages in there but most of the scrapbooks are oversize. I’ve also thought of just photographing each page and having an electronic copy to look at and storing the originals away. Any ideas or examples?
