What's It Mean? A-Z

Acid Free (Paper) (see pH Balanced): The use of this term varies from the logical definition of the individual words to a wide variety of standards - always have a company explain their definition. See Also Archival webpage. Having no acidity and no residual acid-producing chemicals. Below is a definition from "Preserving Family Keepsakes Do's and Don'ts", Ilene Chandler Miller, 1996:
"Any paper that contains an alkaline (pH higher than 7 or an absence of acid) base and is often lignin-free."
Acid Transfer: The act of acid migrating from one object or item to another. See Also Archival webpage.

Participate in author forums - if you know of forums about your subject matter, don't be shy there either. Be sure you know the ground rules so you don't sound like an infomercial. Most groups have different sensibilities.
