There is a humidification and flattening process that can be done cheaply in-house (given allocated counter space). I worked on a similar project at the Maine Historical Society.
We used two different sized trash cans to make a humidification chamber. There used to be a video on YouTube explaining it, but it's been taken down at some point. Might be worthwhile to touch base with them.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Curled-up photos and other documents
The historical society I am working with has a whole bunch of photos and other documents such as posters and flyers that are either curling up on their own or have been rolled up. What would be the safest but cheapest procedure (we are a small society with some money, but not much) to flattening them out? The plan is to buy a map drawer and maybe some other cabinets later this year so we are definitely looking to correct this. What would you guys recommend? Thanks for any and all help.
