Dear Cons Dist, I am advising on a personal correspondence from between 1970 - 1997 which includes faded typed faxes. They are either kept loose within this personal archive or in plastic folders, in a University Library in Johannesburg, South Africa. Looking at egs at random a 1996 eg the type of when received is still legible but the typed text is faded.
Questions: How best to store them? And how best, time wise, to make a transcription of the text. I found with some, placed over a transmitting flat light pad one can read the type. With a UV torch that light strengthened the faded type to read more easily.
