HELP!!!How to keep newspapers?

[Mrs.Clayton]

I have saved the newspapers from the elevation shows I attended this year, but I want to keep them nice for years to come. Have any of you done anything special to your newspapers? They are too big to fit in the plastic sheet protectors that I normally use for magazines, and right now, they are laying flat on a box in the middle of my room. My main concern is the print rubbing off. Any help would be great.

Ooh right on!

I usually Saran Wrap something I am very serious about keeping and put it in a drawer or filing cabinet where it won't get crumpled.

 

[Mrs.Clayton]

Saran Wrap??Really? I never thought of that...I should do that with my program.
have you had any problems with that process?

 

[HelloAngel]

Nope! Saran Wrap or any plastic bags always work fine for me.. so long as they are stored properly, they will keep for a long time.
