Personally, I would try to scan them now and then grant only digital access
 to them. The more you open them up, the more the ink will fade. Granted, t he scanner will expose them to a very bright light, but that's a one-time e xposure. Then it's just a matter of keeping the original cool, dry, and dar k.

How does one preserve one room school ledgers from the 1860's on? The ink written material is still legible, but fading. Carol Anderson, Harrisburg-Troy Historical Society ---cander@merr.com
