Try contracting Gaylords about their preservation series, a set of booklets
that outline storage and preservation practices for arhival materials.  One
deals specifically with paper storage, and the series as a whole is very
good(and it was free last time I ordered a set).  To order directly, go to
http://www.gaylord.com/archival.htm.  To view the site in general (they sell
library and archival supplies, and it looks like they are set up for
international sales)try http://www.gaylord.com/.

Hello everyone!

Could someone give advice on how to store old papers or in general
guidelines on preventing them from further deterioration?

Thank you
Vaso Stagoni
