Morgan,
 
I recommend you obtain a catalog of University Products and then read up on  
a chemical called Hwei To (or something like that), which can be sprayed on  
acidic documents to reverse the process and stabilize the paper. There are also 
 sheets of de-acidifier paper that can be inserted in between to draw-out the 
 acid from your paper. Conservators use these materials with far better 
technical  skill than you or I could, but when you cant afford their rates, you 
learn to  experiment.
 
My problem is with rolled-up and brittle plans that might crumble if I  tried 
to flatten them. Once I can get through that issue, copying is not an  issue.
