I need to get some historical items into Legacy notes. I perfer to scan
these items and convert them to text. My problem...
I've been digging in some old family items -- many have not been disturbed
form 50 years.
There are many old newspapers with family items, but they have been creased
or folded and I'm afraid to try to straighten them out.
I would like to copy and scan these originals, to share with others on the
net and put copies in a notebook to share with my family. But first they
have to be fairly straight. If I put them under the lid of a copier/scanner
as dry as they are--they would crack, crumble and fall apart.
Any iteas on how to straighten old newspapers and other items?
I heard once that old newspapers could be rinsed with clean running water
and then left to dry.
