If you have an historical society, or large library (or any library for that matter), they may be able to
help.

At the library and archives of the Western Railway Museum in Rio Vista, California, http://www.wrm.org/
they have special "humidifiers" that they use to "de-roll" those large plat maps and engineering drawing
from the early days of the railroads. Perhaps someone can steer you to something like that in your
neighborhood.

|How can I soften a document that has been tightly rolled for
|nearly 100
|years? I would like to look at it, photograph it for my
|book, perhaps
|even frame it. I don't want to smear the ink that I am sure is fading
|or tear the edges. It is a large document. Perhaps a "Perfect
|Attendance" certificate or diploma. Thanks, Rose
