- 1). Place a sheet of acid-free buffer paper between each important page. If the entire magazine is precious to you, place a sheet between each page. Many collectors want to preserve the ads more than anything else and place the paper only between the pages with ads. It's up to your preference and budget.
- 2). Slide your magazines into individual polypropylene sleeve protectors and place a backer board behind each, inside the sleeves. The backer board will prevent bending and keep the magazine as supported as possible. The sleeve will keep the magazine free of dust and moisture.
- 3). Place your protected magazines into a photo archive storage box. These boxes are made with acid-free material and will help prevent deterioration of your magazines.
- 4). Place your box of magazines in a cool, dry place. A well-ventilated attic or a waterproofed basement will work.
