Just wondered what the best way too keep programmes.
I have a few seasons in binders but the more recent ones dont fit into them very well and also I find it becomes harder to get them into the binders the more recent the programme. My older programmes are currently piled up in a cardbord box.
I am planning on getting a load of shoe boxes to start storing them in but wondered should I put each programme into a protective plastic wallet. many of my older 30s-50s programmes are in 'polly pockets' but im worried that over time they will deteriate. |

don't know if it helps but i was told to put a piece of paper on the inside of the poly sleeve so that if the poly sweats the paper absorbs it? regards...........steve. |

Best piece of advice I would give is dont use poly pockets.
Use acid free comic bags. |

I had heard that poly pockets were not the best things too keep programmes in but haven't found any acid free bags.
Any idea where I can get some from |

Try S and N Genealogy
http://www.genealogysupplies.com/
They do folders and sleeves designed for storing old documents.
The only drawback is thier folders, although beautiful, have the words Family History written on them, but still worth looking at. (Can anyone guess what I do when Im not collecting ) _________________ Many Thanks

I'll find out the link of the website I used to obtain my acid free comic bags.
Think I got 100 for £6.99 but these were re-sealable ones so i paid extra.
You can get ones that arent re-sealable for alot less.
I'll post the link on here about 6pm for you mate once I get home from work. |

I've put a fair bit about acid free bags and backing boards on this site, so there will be links in other postings. If you live anywhere near a specialist comic shop they should have them in bags of 100, and the non sealable ones usually retail at £3.99 per 100, and backing boards at £9.99 per 100 also. Obviously, if you're going to buy the from specialist dealers, remember that postage can be expensive. |

I'm intrigued by the whole acid free bags issue, I must admit most of my programmes from between the late 50's and late 70's are in folders in polypockets, what is the worst that can happen to them, in reality is it not older issues that are likely to deteriorate? Am I really doing them any damage? They all appear in fine fettle. They are stored in a dry room, in folders, away from direct sunlight. Please reassure me! |

If any "m's" missing, apologies in advance!
The reason acidic free bags are used by anyone involved in the archiving of paper documents is because they do provide an environment that will at least stabilise the condition of the paper put into them. Putting them into plastic will, over time, means that the bags will sweat / condensate. The effect on staples would then be rust, and the effect on the paper would also resemble that of dampness. Obviously, this doesn't take place over night, but the use of acidic free bags is akin to preventitive maintenance.
It's not everybody's cup of tea, but if you have programmes that are worth a lot of money, it's surely better to look after them properly from the off?

I found some of the previously mentioned acid free bags from a shop in Harrogate.
The question i have is: if programmes are stored within these bags but then placed into polly pockets with cardboard in will they still have the same effect?
I did buy 100 bags just to try out but the place does have a website that I will post on here if people are interested. The bags were 4.50 for 100. _________________ Nuts and Bolts Web Design
