Personally, I have a lot of books over 100 years old, plus deeds, certificates, etc, relating to my OPS and family. The Archive I curate is based on material that almost wholly dates from before !!2 and about a third from before WW1. Thatincludes about 70 lab journals made in cheap exercise books, thousand of letters, manuscripts and other stuff such as glass negatives. We scan stuff to DVDs to work from the scans rather than handle the originals. For preservation, scans are stored on archival b/w film in climate contained vaults. And the originals are kept in the cool, dry dark. Lesley Robertson
