Fellow Archivists:

I have several boxes of  correspondence,  publications, and  8 x 11 negatives that were rescued from a fire.  Does anyone  have any experience with this situation?  The negs seem to be just charred on the edges, but some probably have more damage.  Any suggestions on how these should be stored?  Some of the  correspondence is slighly browned, while other correspondence is badly charred.  I plan to just keep this correspondence separated from all other material and interleave where appropriate.  Any other suggestions?

Thanks, 

Ken
