At the Wisc. Hist. Society she took a large obit., which was broken into teeny pieces, put the pieces into a sheet of plastic-like Milar (?) the sz. of a newspaper sheet--it's in fine order. The pieces have not moved an inch. The cost was $32.00 ..But six yrs. later they still have not cashed my check. Hmm(Maybe they'll find it now) ginny seaholm Wi. ****************** From: Vosburg Subject: 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
