I have been given the task of transcribing handwritten letters that
were written between the late 1890's through the 1930's. The
letters are correspondence between my maternal grandmother, her
sisters, boyfriends, friends, etc., while she lived in Wisconsin and
Oregon. They have been placed in the correct 3-ring binder sheaths,
however, following some of my research, I don't believe they've been
handled properly throughout the years (i.e., cotton gloves, etc.).
I'd like to make copies of the originals but have been told before
that copying them is not safe. However, my recent internet searches
have resulted in the contrary with suggestion ranging from scanning,
photo-copying, and even taking pictures of them with a digital
camera. Does anyone know of a source (National Historial Society or
some such venue) that may have the end all information on this?
Thanks, in advance, for any help.
