In working with some old documents, I came across a United States Land Grant from the 1830s. I'd like to frame it, but it's been folded up for 150 years. Any suggestions on how to flatten it out without ruining it or smearing the ink? I'd hate to see the signature "Andrew Jackson" melt away if I get the parchment wet in an attempt to relieve the fibers.
