How To Preserve Old and Brittle Newspaper Clippings

Difficulty: Easy

Instructions

1. Cut the Newpaper article to look nice and neat before preserving.
   Lay the towel on a dry flat surface before taking the article out of the liquid.

2. Dissolve a Milk of Magnesia tablet in a quart of Club Soda
   Let it sit overnight then stir well and pour into a large enough pan to hold a flattened newspaper clipping, which can be put in the pan before or after the liquid is in it.

3. Soak the clipping for a least one hour, 2 hours is slightly better, gently lift the clipping out of the pan and place it on a soft towel to dry, when it is dried it can be handled normally and may be placed in a scrapbook or other suitable place of safe keeping.

4. The estimated life of the clipping is 100 or more years, not to be enjoyed only by you but also by those who follow in exceeding generations.
