Everything I find about vinegar syndrome deals with film or photos. I dealt with this at another museum I worked at where hundreds of documents dating from the 1850-1960s were stored in scrapbooks (binders) in plastic along with newspaper articles from the 1960s and were nearly destroyed by acid, so I know it happens, just can't find any info on it. We just had some newspapers come in with a collection that are half-way laminated (for lack of better terms) and show signs of vinegar syndrome. I need something to back up my claims that they need to be scanned and destroyed and certainly can't be kept with the rest of our collection. I thought there would be at least something out there about it but so far nothing online or in any of the books on my book shelf.
