Bill,
Here is a link to a "Conserve O Gram" by the National Parks Service on flat
tening rolled documents and papers. Basically, it's a two-step process of h
umidifying and flattening.

I hope this is helpful. Please let me know if you have additional questions
and we can provide additional assistance.

Subject: Curled Photos
We have a few curled photos in our collection. They are usually 8 x 10 or l
arger and are curled into a tube shape. Does anyone have a method of perman
ently straightening out these photos without damaging them?
Thanks for your help.
