Are ziplock bags good to use? I went to the Carneigie Library where
historical things are kept here and was told to use archival envelopes,
boxes, and to put paper things between two sheets of mylar and use double
sided tape to connect the sheets, and to conceal them. Some types of
plastic are, supposedly, not good to use. I know that light, dampness, and
the air are not good when trying to preserve things.
