MICE !
This original 1916 newspaper, showing Pearse's surrender, survived 102 years intact, before being partially destroyed by mice in 2018.
If your history collection is paper-based, you may think fire and flood are your biggest enemies, but there are little ones out there too, so beware!

Meet Mrs Agnes Newman, sister of Roger Casement.
This photo was taken after she arrived in the US, & published in the "Chicago American" newspaper on 3 August, 1916, under the heading "Mourns Brother".
Casement's last letter to his sister was dated 25 July, just 9 days earlier.
