Title: Proper Storage of a 1937 NY Times?
Post by: VanGateau on October 21, 2012, 02:46:06 PM

Found a New York Times from 1937 at the bottom of a cardboard box in a local antique shop. It's already a little worn, and I was wondering how i can display it in a way that will also prevent further deterioration. Any advice would be appreciated! :)

If you want to display it,, have it museum framed with acid free backing and spacers on front to keep it away from the glass. Hang it out of direct sunlight !!
