Has anyone had luck preserving your individual chapter history --- old scrapbooks nearing 100 years old, old pictures, documents, letters. Any chapter ever hire an archivist for you local chapter's history? Worked with an expert at a local history center? Any tips, ideas, resources?
That's pretty impressive! There is so much information available on archival resources anymore, that training a few sisters may be a less expensive way to go. I know that I use an archival spray on some of my photos and some documents, and most scrapbooks are archival-friendly anymore.

If you have a craft store that specializes in scrapbooking, that would be a good place to ask. Online, this site might help you.
