Hello Anita,

I meant “suitable for framing” metaphorically as something beautiful or 
pleasing. It was never a common practice as far as I am aware. People may 
have framed their own copies of important documents. Whenever I see an 
unusual or beautiful document in the collection -- some of our hand-drawn 
and hand-colored plats come to mind -- my first thought is that they are as 
beautiful as anything in a gallery. Documents in the care of an archive would 
generally not be framed long-term because of preservation concerns. Thanks 
for reading. 

-Dale
