Preserving A Rare Treasure

[jmarc63]

I have a rare collecetabel and I wanted to know how to preserve it. Back in the late 80's I worked for Kraft, since Kraft was a Charter sponsor of the land at Epcot they were given preliminary blueprints for the project. I happen to obtain some of them while I was directed to toss files on the execitive floor.

The prints are on the usual paper that Architecs print the dozens of copies that all involved in the project get. It is printed on the print from WED as drawen or at least printed on 6-18-79 and hand stamped with a copyright from Walt Disney Productions with a distrubition date of july 2 1979.


I wanted to know whats the best way to preserve this paper print and what do you think it would be worth to a collector?

If it's original, it could catch a pretty penny, you know...

Check around on eBay (although most of those are just copies) and do some searches on the Internet...

As for preservation, I'm not sure... I'm sure there's a method of framing them for display in some sort of airtight frame, or you could of course just keep it all rolled up in a tube... Do another Internet search for that

As with most paper products the best way to preserve them while still being able to display them is an airtight frame with UV-reflective archival glass and acid-free matting. It's crazy expensive but worth it! Good framing stores should be able to give you a rough estimate or you can go to an art store and get the stuff to do it yourself.
