You can use this recipe to preserve your newspaper clippings. I have tried this on clippings that were from a newspaper dated 1942. While it still looked yellow it was no longer brittle. It is good for another fifty years.

This mixture can be stored in your refrigerator in a plastic container and used over and over.

Throughly disolve 1 tablet or 2 TBS. of liquid milk of magnesia in a quart of club soda. Chill the mixture overnight. Soak your clippings in the solution for an hour then blot dry. Allow to air dry.
