They include newspapers, documents, books, maps and images, with a focus on the civil war era and before. All items are genuine originals. We do not handle copies or reproductions of any itemsUnlike modern paper items, early newspapers & documents made before 1880
generally remain in very nice condition even after centuries of agingThe reason for this is that these early paper items were made with pure cotton & linen,
whereas modern paper is made with wood fibers that often rapidly discolor and get weak & brittle
