It's my soapbox and I'm not getting down.>> 

>I am a librarian who has recently been hired to catalogue and archive a 

small historical collection. The Kelley House Museum has a collection of 

maps and photographs dating back to the early 1900's. Many are brittle an
d 
torn. What is the current thinking on repairing historical documents with
 
archival document tape before encapsulating them? What are the best types
 
of tapes to use?
