As advised above, just stashing them away in proper storage is easier and less expensive than if you wanted to mount them for viewing enjoyment. If I had those, I'd want to be able to look at some of them, maybe hang them in my den. A few years ago, a friend whose family was here before the American Revolution (the one in 1776 that is) gave me an original old newspaper that was published by his great great etc uncle in the mid 1770's. Of course it's not cheap news print paper like we use today, it's printed on what looks like a cloth fibered "paper". I took it to a local gallery that has expertise in framing historic documents and they mounted it and enclosed it in a special glass so that you can see all the sides. It is very interesting to look at and read. This uncle was not in favor of revolting from the king and his paper shows it.
