I'm not an expert, but laminating will maintain the item's physical
integrity, but UV will ultimately still affect the contents. If you ask
around at scrapbooking stores they might lead you to laminates which are UV
blockers. Also, if you use those handily plastic sheet protectors, make
certain they are 'archival' quality or they can do damage to the papers if
you use them long-term.

While I'm not a fan of 'scrapbooking', the technology you can learn is very
helpful in preserving genealogical documents over the long-term.
