How Do I Preserve Autographs?

May sound like a daft question, granted, but how do you properly care for autographs? I recently had them stored in adhesive folders, but was told it wasn't a good idea.Now I have taken them out of my adhesive folders and stored them in polypropylene pockets which are loose pockets inside a box file.What worries me is that the box file could be acidic. What does anyone suggest the proper materials I should buy, if necessary? I currently live in UK.CheersRobSee More
