   I don't know a good way to store the documents, but I am sure there will   
   be other who know.   
      
   HOWEVER,  I have a similar situation with documents that were created as   
   between 1817 and 1917,  I carefully scanned them all and saved them as    
   PDF files to my computer.   I scan them in color on a flatbed scanner.    
   The color image more accurately represents the document as the subtle    
   differences on the paper surface can be more easily seen.   
      
   I can read them as often as I like with out worrying that I will damage    
   one.  I can easily share them with cousins whose ancestors are in the    
   document, by just sending the PDF.
