Andy,
 
I would recommend "Architectural Photoreproductions: A Manual for Identification and Care" by Elenore Kissel and Erin Vigneau. It is an excellent resource and all of your questions are covered in it.

Subject: blueprints

Dear Colleagues,
 
I am looking for some advice  regarding the storage, handling and safekeeping of blueprints now in a flat file.  I seem to have several types and some are less than blue, while others are brown and gray.  I'm not sure if various types should be co-mingled and what non-acidic paper(s) should be used for separating items.
 
The oldest is a 1936 WPA blueprint of our old broadcast tower and would be great to display if done properly. 
 
Thanks in advance for your suggestions.  Feel free to contact me off the list. 
 
Andy
