First, call a conservator or his/her recommendations.

University Products (1-800-628-1912) carries a deacidification spray for
newspaper and other documents.  One is called _Wei-T'O Deacidification
Spray_ and the other is called _Book Keeper Deacidification Spray_ .  I know
that the conservator at the museum where I worked used the Wei-T'O spray,
but I would recommend that you call a conservator to get their
recommendation of what to use, how to use it and how much to use.

Good Luck
