Aside from deacidification, etc., you could scan them in at a high
resolution and print them out on acid-free paper (such as 100% cotton
paper or acid-free ink-jet paper). Aren't there archival-quality inks
out now for ink-jet printers? I'd suggest a laser printer, but, after
time, pages stick to one another and the printing comes off.

Does anyone know why there's such little emphasis on permanance in the
computer industry? ... an industry which often resembles a bunch of
chickens running around with their heads cut off.
