Hi anna,

You can buy acid-free paper at most good art supply shops, and from conservation suppliers.  There are lots around, if you let me know where you live, I can probably hunt down the most convenient. 

I don't like the term "acid-free" myself, as I think it can mislead people either deliberately or inadvertently.  What you need to look for is paper that is "pH neutral" or "archival" or "conservation grade/quality" or "photo safe".  That applies to plastics, too - there are some good archival storage systems available that are made from plastics such as polypropylene, and these are photo safe.

If you want more info, just give me a yell  Smiley
