<p>[QUOTE=&quot;gregsglass, post: 312320, member: 78&quot;]Hi,</p><p>&nbsp; I save newspaper clippings the same way The Library of Congress saves newspapers. Soak the clippings in equal parts of club soda and a stomach&nbsp; antacid like Maalox or Windgel. Then they are soaked a few minutes dry them them between paper towels or such. When dry lightly brush off the excess powder. It deacidifys the clippings and they will not turn brown. I learned this from several courses that I took on saving art. I have several clippings from the 30s that still look pristine. Newspaper is very acidic since it is made from bleached pulp. I would not save them in the bible but keep them in a note book with plastic sleeves.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
