Default Archive vehicle documents?

Hi. I have an original window sticker and other paper work that I would like to preserve. I would like to show the car and would like to show the documentation as well. How do I store such paper work do I laminate it or is there another way to store/show that wouldn't ruin the documents. Thanks.

I would keep the original documents at home in a plastic sleeve in a binder. I would color photocopy the originals and laminate the copies to display. I did this with my deluxe Marti report and some old registration and repair reciepts from my car when it was originally in CA. If something happens to the copies I still have the originals to make another copy.

I agree with Jay's advice and have done the same with the documentation for my Mustangs. I took the additional step of scanning all my documents, thus creating additional electronic copies for future use in the event I lose or damage my hard copies.

Thanks good ideas. I guess when I think of it a copy for show purposes makes good sense.
