I work for an organisation that specialises in products for the storage and preservation of old photo and documents and I will be happy to answer any questions anyone has about storing their family history paperwork. I seem to have inherited more and more photos once everyone in the family knew I was doing the family tree. It's quite a responsibility especially when other family members want copies as well. I have a long term goal to scan them all but it all takes time...
Is there a way to safely unroll paper without cracking it?
We have found several diplomas that have been rolled for anywhere from 95 years to about 50 years. We would like to unroll them, take digital images, and then store them.
