<p>[QUOTE="gregsglass, post: 110567, member: 78"]Hi Scout,</p><p> I have saved newspaper clippings for years. The very old ones were not made from wood pulp which is so acidic that they burn and fall in pieces.

They will remain white and not fall apart. I learned about it from The National Library that saves copies of all the newspapers. They are treated and then digitized.</p><p>greg[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
