Thanks to everyone that responded to my question in reguard to a document that had been tightly rolled for many years. Several suggested enclosing the document in a tight container with another container of water. The consensus seems to be that I should seek professional help. I live in a small town. Someone that lives near a small city near me will make inquiries in that area. I was thinking that I had read some time ago to freeze the document but not one person suggested that. One person suggested to enclose documents that had an odor in a tight container with charcoal. I have elementary school text books from the same time period that have been wet. I had put them in a container with fabric softener sheets but haven't checked them yet. I hope I didn't do further damage. I needed to do something or dispose of them. I believe I responded to each one personally. If I missed someone, I am sorry. I have been away and only checked the subject lines. Thanks, Rose
