A difficult preservation task...

[Chris Boonzaier]

Have these originally packed paper packets of bullets.

what is the best way to go?

With a corner I have tried clear varnish, it seems to work quite well... should I clear varnish them to protect? I think otherwise they will fall to pieces....

Have you looked into the possibility of using a de-acidification spray?

It's supposed to work on old books and you have a ton of those you you wouldn't be buying it for nothing. I haven't used any myself so can't say if it's good, hard to come by, cheap or expensive but if it preserves your goodies I wouldn't worry too much about the cost.
