" For my 18th birthday, my grandmother gave me a letter that my third great-grandfather wrote to his sister, Jane, in 1854. It is on ledger-size paper and has writing on both sides. I would like to display the letter so that it can be read, but I also want to preserve it. Any suggestions?   Jane G.  A professional framer would be able to create a frame for your letter with glass on both sides, so the document could be turned over and read in its entirety. Such a frame might be displayed on a small easel or propped up on a desk with its back leaning against a wall. Be sure to ask that the letter be matted first, on both sides, so that the paper does not touch the glass; if a humid environment ever caused moisture to form inside the frame, the letter might get stuck to the glass. Also request glass with UV protection. Even with the UV glass in place, choose a spot for your heirloom that is not beside a sunny window or a bright light so you can prevent fading and discoloration as much as possible. To cut down exposure to light sources even more, you might consider rotating the letter in and out of storage (in a drawer or cabinet, for example), as museums do with rare paper documents. To find a framer near you, inquire at art stores or ask a friend or local historical society for recommendations. "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
