Default How do you display your paper collection

I try to acquire a catalog from the year of each of my gun's date of manufacturer. I built a wooden case with a tempered glass top for my gun room to show my paper collection. How do you display your paper collection? Craig

I plan to put mine in a binder. I really don't have too many at the moment. I have all of my research letters in a binder and that really adds enjoyment

Some on shelves, framed on walls, and in display cases...

Very nice displays. I do not have a gun room (I live in Massachusetts)so I have several 3 inch binders that are organized by type - small catalog - large catalog - letters - envelopes and postcards etc. The large leather bound catalogs - both the '37 Parker/Remington catalog and the 1895 copy by Larry Baer are on display in my home office. Having the 150+ pieces in binders makes for pleasant times in a big comfortable chair.

But, but, but... isn't your town the "Birthplace of American Freedom" Mike?

What, in Massachusetts law, prevents one from having a gun room?
