I bought an antique puzzle, and in the box, used to pad the pieces, was a
sheet of an old newspaper, The Cleveland Observer, dated April 21. 1928. AND
it was the front page of the fashion section! Showing dresses and hats, etc.
My question is, what should I do with it? It's rather torn, and yellowed.
And I don't want to put it back in with the puzzle-non-acid paper is best
for that. Do you think It's all on microfiche already?
It may very well be, but you might be able to find that out. Try
calling the Cleveland Observer and/or the Cleveland Public Library,
explain the reason for your interest, and ask.
Should I attempt to
tape the pieces back together?
Probably only if you want to preserve the fashion information on the
page for yourself. If you do, photocopy the patched page (since the
taped page is not likely to last much longer anyway).
