I have an old book, a memory book of sorts, where someone placed many postcards dating back to the 1900s, I'm assuming to preserve the memories. All of them have stamps, however, most of them have fallen off the postcards, but I have every one of them, including the postcards they were on. Postmarks beautifully preserved. Is there a way to put these back without damaging the postcards and/or stamps, or should I just leave them in their protective covers I have placed them in, to prevent any further damage to them? I do not want to ruin any of them, but I also do not want any of them to become misplaced. Thank you in advance for the help.

If this is the wrong place to post this question, I apologize, I am still getting used to the site, and am learning my way around.

The acceptable solution is to use stamp hinges to put them back on.

You could use stamp hinges to re-attach.

Stamp hinges. I never knew there was such a thing, until now! Where would I get those? I'm going to post pictures of the post cards in the correct forum. They are absolutely beautiful!
