Newspaper Clippings In Your Scrapbook

A popular addition to scrapbook pages is newspaper clippings. Newspaper clippings of birth announcements, team photographs, or favorite celebrities and other relevant news add a personal touch to scrapbook pages.

Newspaper contains about 4% lignin. Therefore, yellowing and brittleness of the newspaper paper will eventually occur. However, since the percentage of lignin is low, newspaper will preserve for many years before this deterioration process starts. To further slow this process, use Mylar or page protectors to protect the newspaper from the outside elements. Alternatively, make a good quality color copy onto acid-free and lignin-free paper, or scan the cutting into your computer and print it out again.
