The only way to ensure their natural ageing would be to hide them somewhere and hope they remain untouched. What would be a good place to hide books/ephemera for a few hundred years?<br /><br />I once read of an original Martin Luther book being preserved for almost a hundred years by being buried, wrapped tight in beeswaxed linen.
