Yes lend them to your local county record office, they
will have the facilities to perserve them and other researchers
will have a chance to view them. But make sure you transcribe
them before hand and also give them a copy of your transcription.

Subject: [Mon] preservation of documents?
Hi List
My question is slightly off topic but I wonder if anyone can recommend the
best way of preserving old documents? I've got a few in varying condition,
ranging from original birth certificates to the first page of a family
bible,
now exceedingly fragile, and would like to preserve them before they
deteriorate even more.
Any ideas welcome, and Happy New Year to one and all.
