[QUOTE="chrisy, post: 666819, member: 3193"] for one thing don't handle it to much and only with cotton gloves on, go to the local historical library they should be able to help you. Don't take a flash photo or a photocopy of the document as the light can fade old writing. DO NOT put it between any kind of laminate paper as it will devalue and ruin the document. Find some acid free paper or cloth to put it in between. Put it in a safe and ask the person who the Historical place suggests to come to you, if they are genuine they usually will. even if it isn't the original and one that was sold to the people it may still be very old and worth something...Good Luck and keep us informed of this very interesting find. Last year here on the Antiques Road Show someone found an old letter from Lord Nelson detailing naval strategy before the Battle of Trefalgar, it was authenticated to be so and was worth a fortune. The above is what the man on the show told the couple to do with their document. [/QUOTE]
