You may recall that a while ago, I spent quite a bit of money on philatelic preservation supplies. The reason is that I had acquired a collection of black and white press images taken at King George V's 1935 Silver Jubilee celebration. Some images are more interesting than others. I will slowly scan some of them to share. Some of the photos come with background information typed on very flimsy rice paper that over the years has become very fragile. I'm trying to preserve and protect it as much as possible.
