Archival help for documents for an old time Big Leaguer

[whiteymet]

Hi Gang:

I have a friend whose grandfather had a cup of coffee with the Cleveland Indians in 1920-1921 and is looking for information how to protect some of the items he has from his grandfathers career.

Below is the email I received. If any of you can supply me with ideas/info etc. how to help them best preserve the paper items they have, please post it here.

Thanks in advance for any help that you can provide!


I have a question I hope you can help me with.* We've got a lot of baseball memorabilia from my grandfather including newspaper clippings, contracts, pictures, etc, and would like to preserve them in a better format than the scrapbook many of them are in.* Since quite a few of the items are 99 years old, they won't last much longer, especially the newspaper articles, and the team pictures are rolled up and cracking (we aren't opening them).* Do you have any idea who would do such a thing? Any advice would be appreciated!
