turns out I have a real gem of a historic newspaper

[charlie and algernon]

A year ago I was at a flea market and bought an envelope stuffed with old newspapers. It has a bunch of Nixon resignation newspapers from Annapolis, MD, including a Baltimore Sun "NIXON RESIGNS" newspaper.

The real gem, however, is the November 23rd Kennedy Assassination paper from Annapolis, MD. Well I brought it back out tonight and happened to turn it to the sports page and amazingly there's an article about the upcoming Army-Navy game and Navy's star player - Roger Staubach. There have been books written about the 1963 Army-Navy game and how it helped to heal the nation after the assassination. I now may have to get it framed so that you can see both the monumentally historic front page but also the historic back page as well.

Does anyone know if that can be done? frame it so you can turn it around and see the back page as well?

1. I've seen smaller frames that have two panes of glass with the item

Sandwiched in between. I don't know if that would work with anything as large as a newspaper. Also, I would think you would want to put a ph buffered page in between the front and back pages to slow down the degradation of the old crappy high acid pulp paper.

Just a quick check, I found this site - http://www.thepaperframer.com/NewspaperFraming.php - they specialize in newspaper framing. It might be worth contacting them.
