Silk Book markers
« on: Thursday 21 October 21 15:23 BST (UK) »
Hi,
first please forgive me if this subject is covered somewhere else.
I have been given an old family bible and inbetween the pages are a lot of old silk bookmarks in memory of loved ones that have passed dating back to 1913.
Should i leave these silks in the bible or should they be stored differently?
Im thinking that they are nice and flat in there and maybe i should just take an image of them and leave them be?
Would very much appreciate any advice.
kind regards
Karen.

I'd leave them where they are.  I like your idea of taking a photograph, perhaps having arranged them on a piece of paper.  Print off the photo and mount in a picture frame, detailing their origins, etc.
