Here's a super link on the History Channel site that gives great tips for preserving your document, letters, photos, etc.  

NOTE:  One of our forum members recently discovered that the link I had here is no longer functional.


So here's some new ones for everyone:

Great Link WD.  I have a box of about 300 letter I found at an antique store from a gentleman that served in the CBI theater.  The letters are from when he left home to when he returned.  Without looking I believe they start in1 944 and end in early 1946.

Good ideas on what I can do with them now.

You're welcome Nick.  So many of us have these precious articles, letters, newspapers, etc., now, so I hope I can spare some pain of loss or destruction by providing helpful links like this one.

I have bought acid-free boxes and will now store all my memorabilia in them to help preserve them.

The link is no longer valid.

Many thanks!  Placed a few new ones a couple of minutes ago.

I did not read though all of each article, so this could be in there somewhere.

I collect a lot of original WWII pictures.  If you have them stored individually (not in albums) I put them in an acid free sleeve, go to a sports cards shop and get the plastic holders for them so they don't bend, and put them in a large drawer so no light is exposed to them.
Just my 2 cents.

Oh absolutely.
