Following the discussion about brittle newspaper articles, I have 2 scrapbooks of newspaper articles and photographs from World War II era, particularly regarding Hitler's campaign in Poland, that my mother collected. Some of the pieces seem like things to preserve...a wanted Poster for Hitler that apparently was circulated in New York City at the time, the headlines when Pearl Harbor was attacked, FDR's death, etc. I would like to get some of these items laminated if people believe that this will stop the deterioration. But the laminating machines I've seen in stores (I thought of doing it myself) just aren't big enough to accommodate the size of these scrap book pages, or the newspaper pages themselves. Does anyone know where I might get the pages laminated? Is there any argument against laminating? An alternative preservation method? Does anyone know who else might want the other pages for displays, collections, etc.?
