Inherited 26 1865 New York Herald Lincoln Assassination Newspapers

[L Verge]

The oils and dirt on people's hands are very detrimental to anything - not just newspapers. Take a look around your own house at pieces of furniture that people might touch frequently as they walk by. My mother lived with me for seventeen years before her death four years ago at age 94. She needed certain tables, chairs, sections of walls to steady herself with while walking from room to room. It would be a day-to-day chore to keep those things clean - even with modern protective coatings.

Mylar is a great way to conserve and display at the same time, Joe. Thanks for mentioning that and the UV resistant glass.
