Q: Lani writes: "I see the term acid-free. I really don't know what that means."
A: Lignin is a natural part of plant cells in paper that becomes acidic as it deteriorates. If this is not removed in the paper-making process, the acid will cause the paper to break down more quickly. It may also react with photos or adhesives to break them down or cause them to yellow. People who are working with or making anything archival will want to use acid-free papers to preserve their work. Some acid-free archival papers can last over 1000 years!
