Thank you so much for this information. I have gone to the web site and
found a couple of names that do this kind of work fairly close to me here
Manassas, VA.

You can contact the American Institute for Conservation (AIC - the national
organization for conservators), who will have a referral service for paper
conservators in your area that can repair and stabilize the paper for you.
They can be reached at 202-452-9545 or [log in to unmask], or

I have acquired an original document "certifying" my grandparent's marriage
from the church where my grandparents were married in 1908. My aunt
carefully folded it into a small square with a note to be careful handling
it because it was fragile. She carefully wrapped it in a saran wrap kind of
material. 

I opened the package to look at it, and I now have 9 squares of paper.it has
disintegrated at the folds. I can match the pieces up, but I was wondering
if there is a way to do that and preserve the document. I had thought about
pasting the pieces together on a piece of paper, or taping them together,
but I am not sure that is a good idea.

Anyone have any idea or thoughts on who I could contact to look at this?

Thanks.
