Thanks for the link!
Here's a tip I saw in the Austin paper -
Some readers recommended archival preservative sprays in lieu of archival sleeves to the woman who wanted to save newspaper pages. Cheryl Carrabba of Carrabba Conservation, a preservation and conservation company, recommends
Bookkeeper Spray if you choose to use spray. This spray neutralizes acid and slows deterioration of the paper. Pick some up at Light Impressions, (800) 828-6216 or
www.lightimpressionsdirect.com.
And what about that homemade recipe which calls for soaking newsprint overnight in a solution of one Milk of Magnesia tablet in one quart of club soda? Soaking precious newspaper pages in this solution will neutralize the acid but it may also irreversibly damage the properties of the paper and ink, warns Carrabba. I would not try it on irreplaceable items.
