How should writing paper be stored ?

 

I live in a humid climate. Am I correct to assume that the humidity affects the paper ? ie if the paper is not stored dry, it causes feathering over time, no matter how good the paper is ....

 

Do you folks take precaution when storing your writing paper ?

 

TIA

Except for a small pile in reach at my desk I keep mine in a closet in its box/packaging, flat, and climate controlled.

Aha ... !

So there is a reason why you do that.

If you dont mind me asking, what are your experiences that resulted in this habit of yours?

 

Now i am wondering if i hav to 'hermetically' seal up my unused journals in storage ...

I haven't had any trouble in climates which have lower humidity. But, here in Atlanta, the envelopes seal themselves. I don't know how quickly this occurs, whether it happened in a year, or if it took five. I had some stationery in a covered box. No air flow, to speak of, inside the box. The envelopes are all sealed.

 

Can't speak to changes in the paper. I have letters well over a hundred years old, and to the untrained eye and hand, they seem in the same condition they were approx. eight years ago.

 

I leave my storage boxes uncovered now.
