[or-roots] Request for information

Consult someone in the documents section of a local museum or historical 
society to find out who locally does document conservation and restoration work.  
If the certificates are worth preserving and/or displaying (and it sounds like 
they are), you may want to have tape (and glue residue) removed before it 
further damages the paper.  Aside from the recomendation to use acid-free paper 
for backing, matting, etc.; it is also important to use glass that protects 
from ultraviolet light.  A knowledgeable individual can determine the kind of 
paper; inks used, etc. and recommend the best process for stabilizing and/or 
restoring.
