- Hi julie, I also had many books, left most of them in my moldy

house, they are now tottalled. but the ones I couldn't bare to part

with I put in boxes and stored than went back later and wiped down

with ammonia and water, dried them and put them in plastic sealed

containers. Rosie said something about microwaveing them, mabye she

will share this method with

us. --

, just a comment on photographs. Perhaps you have already done

this but you can scan them into computer and throw away the original,

because later you can print new pictures from any computer. From

computer you can store them in a portable storage device like a USB

stick. Pictures are the easiest things to save. Of course you can do

this with some documents also but if original signature, etc. are

important wouldn't work but copies of tax returns and tax documents,

etc, could be scanned into computer and originals thrown away.
