For this and other similar questions, may I suggest posting also to the LinkedIn group Collections Preservation and Care (https://www.linkedin.com/groups/1844717) which I manage.  It has over 10,000 like-minded members from all over the world.  I am sure you will receive many responses.  If you are not a member, simply submit a request and I will approve it.

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.
