A donation of newspapers from the city closest to our town was dropped
off at our small history museum. Most of them are badly yellowed and
crumbling but a few are in good condition. Many deal with WWII or
Kennedy's assassination; some date as far back as the '30. I can see that
I might use a couple of them in future exhibits but the bulk of them I
have no need for and no space to store. I will check, but I am almost
sure the donor will not want them back. 

Are these of any value? Should I bother calling around to find them a new
home? And, for the few that I plan to keep, how should they be stored?
Are there containers/tissues specifically designed for newsprint?

Thanks for your help,
Nancy Reddy
