Hi Shane
I have had a couple of medal documents (Stalingrad, Caucasus, Leningrad type) "stablilized" by a professional document restorer. I did not want them completely restored (thus losing character) but didn't want them to deteriorate any further either. I was happy with the results.
You could try putting your documents in a plastic folder, carefully flattening out the edges and then press them under a pile of books or something (I have done that too). Personally I would NEVER laminate them.
Originally I went to the document restorer to see if I could have bad Order Book entries removed but they couldn't help with that. Anyone had more success of this front? How about tattoo-removing lasers to fade the ink?
