There are a range of paper qualities, with newsprint being the cheapest and most susceptible to breaking down quickly, especially when not stored well.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Yellowing of newsprint and old paperbacks is obvious, but you can often see subtle yellowing around the edges of higher quality book pages and postcards if you look closely. If you want to slow down the rate of deterioration, proper storage of paper items is important. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"994\" height=\"674\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Magazine-storage-bad-BLOG.jpg\" alt=\"Publications stored upright in an acidic cardboard magazine box\" class=\"wp-image-24714 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Magazine-storage-bad-BLOG.jpg 994w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Magazine-storage-bad-BLOG-600x407.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Magazine-storage-bad-BLOG-768x521.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 994px) 100vw, 994px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 994px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 994\/674;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">This is one way to store magazines, but not if you want to preserve them<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">First, a Look at How <em>Not<\/em> to Store Your Magazines<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The above photo shows a variety of different magazines stored in an inexpensive cardboard magazine box from Ikea. The box is over twenty years old and these magazines have been stored inside it up in my attic for almost that long. These boxes are great for organization and display of magazines, notebooks, and such. But they were never meant for long-term preservation because they are made of acidic, non-archival cardboard, and they leave the magazines exposed to light, air, and dust.

All of these factors contributed to the acid-burn that is visible.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Most standard papers and cardboards have some degree of acids and lignins in them because removing these elements during production is expensive. Newsprint is the classic example of cheap paper that can rapidly break down, yellow, and become brittle. This degradation is accelerated by exposure to heat, humidity, light, and pollution. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Steps for Archival Storage<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"990\" height=\"557\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eastman-publications-magazine-storage-BLOG.jpg\" alt=\"Issues of Image magazine spread out in preparation for archival storage\" class=\"wp-image-24717 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eastman-publications-magazine-storage-BLOG.jpg 990w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eastman-publications-magazine-storage-BLOG-600x338.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Eastman-publications-magazine-storage-BLOG-768x432.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 990px) 100vw, 990px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 990px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 990\/557;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The magazines removed from the old storage box<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">First, you need to gather together all the magazines or journals that you want to preserve, and measure their dimensions. This will let you figure out the width and length of the box that you will need. Even if your collection is all the same publication, the issues might be different sizes if they changed their format along the way. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/drop-front-boxes-3-inch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">3&#8243; Drop Front Boxes<\/a> are good for storing magazines. You will also need to measure the height of the stack of magazines to determine how many boxes you will need. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/newspaper-magazine-storage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\" noreferrer noopener\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"996\" height=\"507\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/63-912-GY-eastman-publications-archival-methods-BLOG.jpg\" alt=\"Copies of Image magazine in poly bags inside an acid-free archival storage box\" class=\"wp-image-24720 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/63-912-GY-eastman-publications-archival-methods-BLOG.jpg 996w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/63-912-GY-eastman-publications-archival-methods-BLOG-600x305.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/63-912-GY-eastman-publications-archival-methods-BLOG-768x391.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 996px) 100vw, 996px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 996px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 996\/507;\" \/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Issues of <em>Image<\/em> magazine, a periodical once produced by the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.eastman.org\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">George Eastman Museum<\/a>, stored in the 9 x 12 Newspaper &amp; Magazine Storage Kit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This group of publications ended up fitting inside our smallest <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/product\/newspaper-magazine-storage\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Newspaper &amp; Magazine Kit<\/a> (63-912-GY).

They protect the magazines from each other. It is also another barrier against agents of deterioration, such as insects and water.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">An alternative to plastic would be to use <a href=\"https:\/\/www.archivalmethods.com\/category\/paper-tissue\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">archival paper<\/a> as interleaving between the magazines. Buffered or unbuffered are both fine but a buffered paper would add extra acid-scavenging properties. All of our boxes are buffered so that property is built into the storage environment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"486\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gray-Drop-Front-Magazines-BLOG.jpg\" alt=\"Copies of Image magazine in poly bags inside an acid-free archival storage box\" class=\"wp-image-24740 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gray-Drop-Front-Magazines-BLOG.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gray-Drop-Front-Magazines-BLOG-600x292.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Gray-Drop-Front-Magazines-BLOG-768x373.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/486;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">The magazines safely stored inside the archival storage kit<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Don&#8217;t Put Them Back in the Attic!<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Once you&#8217;ve put the magazines into the archival poly bags and inside the drop front box, it&#8217;s time to label the box and find a good place to keep it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"753\" data-src=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boxes-in-metal-cabinet-LS-edit-archival-methods.jpg\" alt=\"Metal shelving cabinet filled with many archival metal edge storage boxes\" class=\"wp-image-24742 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boxes-in-metal-cabinet-LS-edit-archival-methods.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boxes-in-metal-cabinet-LS-edit-archival-methods-600x452.jpg 600w, https:\/\/blog.archivalmethods.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/Boxes-in-metal-cabinet-LS-edit-archival-methods-768x578.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 1000px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 1000\/753;\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Storage for your storage boxes<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Remember, don&#8217;t store paper items that you want to preserve in attics, basements, or garages.
