Subject: [ROOTS-L] Document preservation.

How can I soften a document that has been tightly rolled for nearly 100 
years?   I would like to look at it, photograph it for my book, perhaps 
even frame it.  I don't want to smear the ink that I am sure is fading 
or tear the edges.     It is a large document.  Perhaps a "Perfect 
Attendance" certificate or diploma.   Thanks,  Rose
