Preservation Techniques for Fragile Items in <br />Local History Newspaper Clipping File <br />Mr. Napoli has expressed that one of the reasons he wished to digitize the <br />newspaper clipping file was because some of the items were becoming very <br />fragile.- In the past 11 years we have encapsulated some of the more fragile <br />items in the clipping file. We also have reproduced some of the 8 1/2 x 14 <br />cards on acid free paper which has a life expectancy of 300 years. I have <br />checked with the archivist at St. Mary's College and an. archivist at the <br />University of Notre Dame and they both agreed that the use of Mylar and acid <br />free paper are two of the best ways to preserve material. There are still many <br />items that are becoming fragile. Volunteers could do the work of preserving <br />them with the supervision of a librarian. If there is -a question of funding this, I <br />think money could be obtained through a grant or perhaps a local institution <br />could provide the funds. I do not have any exact figures, but I think you could <br />do a lot with $5,000 to $10,000. The library has already spent around $100,000 <br />for equipment to digitize the clipping files. <br />Mary Waterson <br />Local History Section Head <br />1991 -2002 <br />
