Northeast Document Conservation Center

Do you have an old family Bible or some other paper documents that need to be preserved? The Northeast Document Conservation Center is a non-profit organization that does such work. They also are well known for their disaster assistance. I haven't used their services, but I do know that, after a flood damaged numerous old books a few years ago, the Northeast Document
Conservation Center was able to help quickly to reduce the damage.

The Center also has a number of small publications available free of charge about Drying Wet Books and Records, Emergency Salvage of Photographs, Protecting Books and Paper Against Mold, and other related topics. Several of these documents are available online. For more information, look on the Web at: http://www.nedcc.org/
