I would strongly recommend taking these items to a library
conservationist. They would be in the best position to know how to
unroll them and preserve them without fear of destroying them in the
process.
I'd be very cautious with them, in the meantime. What a treasure!!

I am asking for advice on "non" lace preservation. I found my great
grandparent's original marriage certificate and their family record (a large
Victorian sheet which has all the births deaths and marriages inked in) Both
are rolled up and FRAGILE. How do I unroll and preserve them from
deteriorating further and falling apart?? I thought maybe ironing them
between waxed paper?? (works for preserving fall leaves that come off of
trees) These are from the late 1800's so very very old. I REALLY REALLY
REALLY want to keep these. I am the family historian (I do the genealogy
research) and any and all original family documents are very precious.
Thanks in advance
