[QUOTE="donna723, post: 21731, member: 1883"] Linda, that's what I was wondering too. I'm not sure what to do with a whole magazine. Right now, it's sitting on my dining room table! I have other old paper articles too and I'm not sure what to do with them either. I've bought lots of old post cards and some were sent to me in little plastic "sleeves", like what they put baseball cards in, but postcard sized. Not sure where to find them, but I'm going to check the Hobby Lobby. I've got several old "stereoview" cards too, the ones that went into the "Magic Lantern" things and showed a 3D image. They originally came as sets in little wooden storage boxes. A while back I "rescued" some very old family documents, framed them, and put them up in one of my bedrooms. Not sure if I did them the right way, but they're better off now than they were before. When my mom died, I found a plastic bag crammed in with other stuff up on a closet shelf. Rolled up [img]:mad:[/img] inside the bag was my grandfathers baptismal certificate, written in German, dated 1890, and his confirmation certificate from the Lutheran Church, dated 1903, also in German. These are big ornate things with beautiful color pictures ... very fancy. There's also a big, ornate marriage certificate from the church dated 1916 and the smaller "legal" certificate. How they survived all that time, rolled up in a plastic bag, is beyond me! Just unrolling them was a challenge! These are from my other grandparents, not the ones that met at the Worlds Fair. If I can ever afford it (probably never!) I'll have the documents professionally framed so they will be properly preserved. [/QUOTE]
