Chap15 Posted February 5, 2012 Share #1 Posted February 5, 2012 I have this grouping of manuals, regulations, circulars, from a chaplain who was also a Rabbi who worked in the Chief of Chaplains office during WWII. Do I break up this binder and place the items in acid free binders or leave it like it is. There is every AR, TC, Grave's reg for chaplains.

Teamski Posted February 5, 2012 Share #3 Posted February 5, 2012 Leave it alone! Remember that the binder itself is original issue, so if you break it up, you ruin its historical value. Just my opinion. -Ski Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason G Posted February 5, 2012 Share #4 Posted February 5, 2012 If I had the time, what I would do is to take it apart, scan the docs, then replace them back into the binder. If you want them for 'reading' /research purposes, that is. I do agree with Ski though, if you take the binder, above, apart, it does lose some of it's intrinsic value. The docs themselves might be 'worth' more individually (I don't know...) but I personally think they are more valuable as a 'lot'. (Speaking from a resale point of view not as a collector as such). I'd say unless the paper is falling apart to store it well and leave it as is. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dave peifer Posted February 8, 2012 Share #9 Posted February 8, 2012 leave it alone and do all you can to preserve as is.i would put it in an acid free box and keep it out of light and in a good dry area. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chap15 Posted February 9, 2012 Author Share #10 Posted February 9, 2012 The condition of the collection is good. Some paper is ok but not falling apart. I am in the process of getting every reference in this collection. From a chaplain point of view, there are some hard to find documents. For others, there are War Department Circulars, Bulletins and AR. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
