I don't think the boxes are archival either. I have taken photographs of every page with writing. I also photograph the cover and title pages of the Bibles, and any inscriptions, of course. I have my own Bible which is 37 years old. The pages are covered with notes, highlights and under linings from all those years of church and Bible studies. It is precious to me.

I hope I can buy myself some good archival supplies for Christmas and get them stored properly soon. Great advice.Anna Matthewshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06900231457574329121noreply@blogger.com
