how to preserve antique newspaper?

Question

i have a 1918 newspaper in a picture frame..how do i keep it from crumpling and yellowing?

Answer 1

The easy way: Lamination.

The hard way: Since oxygen, temperature changes, and humidity are the enemies of paper, you'll need to keep the clipping in a sealed container filled with an inert gas (Argon is commonly used). You'll also need to keep it in a storage area with regulated temperature.

Lamination is WAY easier, but means you can't access the actual pages, and may reduce its value (if it has one).

Answer 2

Photograph it.
The yellowing is caused by a "slow burn" due to the acid in the paper.

Answer 3

keep it away from bright lights
