YELLOWED NEWSPAPER CLIPPINGS
It's the acidity in newsprint that causes clippings to turn yellow.
You can avoid it by soaking them in a solution that will give the paper a longlasting
alkaline resistance to the acidity. Four tablespoons of milk of magnesia
mixed in a quart of club soda will do the job.
Dip clippings carefully into the solution and then spread them over some
sort of supporting material like a sheet of plastic or nylon netting until most
of the moisture has dripped off. Then, dry the clippings between sheets of
white blotting paper under the weight of a stack of books. (Paper towels cannot
be substituted for blotting paper because of the irregular surface.) Credit
for this goes to Dr. Richard D. Smith, Professor of Librarianship at the University
of Washington,
