Many genealogists swear by this method and it’s probably more cost-effective than using the marketed spray products. You can actually make your own de-acidification solution. You might need to provide the paper though. If you don’t have a scanner, just take it to Kinko’s or another print shop and they can do it for you. Then just print it out on acid-free paper and you can trim and adhere to your layout. The best part of this is that you can adjust the coloring, crop out any unwanted print, resize and generally change many aspects of your scan. Just scan your newspaper clipping into the computer and print. This is probably the easiest way to do it. The solutions in these products neutralize the acid in the paper, stopping it from becoming yellow and brittle.
You will be able to save it for future newspaper clippings. If you don’t have a lot of newspaper clippings this product might work well for you, because it will last a long time. Most scrapbookers swear by these sprays, but they can be an expensive option. And a newer one by Krylon called “Make It Acid Free”, found at paint stores. When the lignin is exposed to air and sunlight, it turns the paper yellows.īut there is hope for me, and others who wish to preserve these memories. Wood also has lignin along with the cellulose. The reason for this is that paper is made from wood, and that wood is made up of almost all white cellulose. Typically you should see yellowing around the edges, or the entire piece might have turned yellow. Just look at a newspaper clipping that is even just five or ten years old.
This means using recycled papers and papers high in acid content. A newspaper utilizes the most cost-effective way to get tens of thousands of papers published everyday. The amount of acid in those clippings is absolutely crazy. Regardless of what I want, placing newspaper clippings in my albums is extremely unsafe.
Newspaper clippings professional#
Some are from so long ago, that I’m not even sure of the dates or time period, and some are from recently, like when my cousin was in the paper with his professional soccer team, or when my son was born and my mother in law submitted his photo to her local newspaper. I have found myself inundated with hundreds of newspaper clippings that I’d love to include in my scrapbooks.
