Conservation of fragile documents #general


Jake Jacobs
 

Help! My cousin just sent me the official record of the Nazis'
taking of property >from all the Jewish families in our ancestral
town, Erdobenye, Hungary. I would like to scan these records and
make them available to all -- and also to get them translated.
However, 2 of the pages are stuck together. The paper is old and
brittle, a newsprint-type paper. How can I unstick them?
