I'd like to contribute to this educational effort by introducing a book written for the general public. A free download of preservation tips and a chapter on books is available at www.preservationhelp.com. This information focuses on family history items, collectibles, memorabilia. Much of the information is geared towards preparing for an emergency and after a disaster hits.
