Displaying a Magazine Article

[Morgan81]

So, I got an article from Life magazine from about 1940~1942 time frame about Pensacola WWII flight training. Very, very cool, but I can't seem to find a descent way to display it since it's from the original magazine so it's front and back of each page.
Because of the age, I think it needs to be acid free and so far, I've only found one page displays. Anyone have any ideas on how to make this look good?

Cut down two pieces of plexiglass, put it inside, bolt the corners together. I know frame stores sell UV protective plexiglass. Get a frame stand for 3 bucks.

call any small history museum and ask to speak to an assistant curator. they'll be able to set you up wrt how to store and display/preserve something.

If you want to just display the article and aren't too concerned with displaying the actual magazine then just scan the pages o the article at a very high resolution (like 300DPI+), save them as TIFF or PNG images and then take them to a professional printer and have them printed that way...

I used a solution similar to Zab's suggestion. It worked well, but was kind of annoying, both for people to try and read and to place as an objet d'art.

Eventually, I tracked down a second copy of the magazine on eBay and took the back pages out of that 2nd copy. Then I had all the pages arranged artfully in order and dry mounted on foam core. Hangs on the wall like a poster, now.

Only real issue is you need two copies of the article to make it work. . .
