I'm not sure which forum's general megathread to start with here, but does anyone have any ideas for preserving old newspapers? I have a newspaper that's 45+ years old that's got my grandfather on the front page and of course being cheap newsprint paper, its yellow as hell and coming apart along the folds, and I'd like to keep it from disintegrating completely and maybe be able to display it. Any thoughts (or redirects to a better thread) appreciated.

Is there any reason you wouldn't want to just laminate it?

That's one possibility, I was worried about continued deterioration of the paper, though. If there's special acid free paper for "archival" use I would assume normal paper isn't normally good for that...
