The Effects of Acid Paper:
Paper that is made from wood-pulp that has not had the chemical lignin
taken out is acidic. Over time, the acid darkens the pages and makes them
very brittle and susceptible to tearing and crumbling.
Acid-free paper is what is used in archives and has a neutral pH. It will not
accelerate the deterioration of the paper.
Some interesting articles from the Smithsonian Institute pertaining to acid
paper and preservation:
Storage of Documents
Document Housing Descriptions
Document Preservation and Digitization
