Bill-
Even if you decide to photocopy it, I would recommend 35mm preservation microfilming of this book.  In this way, you can have a service copy reel or two for researchers to use, protecting the original book from further deterioration.

Subject: 1811 School Record Book

Hi All:

With recent school renovations, the original Town School Record book has been located for our town.  This is especially exciting as all town records prior to 1850 have been burned.  This book is very fragile and I need some recommendations on proper handling inlieu of just laying it on the Xerox machine and making a copy for circulation to interested town members.

TIA
