Storing antique books?

I collect film memorabilia, autographs and props, so archiving them I know about, but I'm a newbie I think for antiques.

I've heard conflicting stories for storing antique papers and books.

Archival tissue paper? Cotton cloths? Polypropylene? What is the best? I have a couple of antique Victorian leather photoalbums and a bible with gilding.

This is a little different from what you are asking, but the U. S. Library of Congress has some good advice:

Here is a page from the State Library in Victoria (Australia). There is a link to a pdf file called Packing and Storing Books.

And one more, from Cornell University in the U. S.:

Thanks!

 

I purchased archival book boxes. They come flat and you fold them up to fit the books. I also wrapped them in archival tissue first.

 

Great idea, Bev.
