..... this is the Library of Congress and their specifications for archival papers. I would suggest clicking on the first option in the card stock category. http://lcweb.loc.gov/preserv/supply/specific.html. Brief Summary of the specifications: The stock must be free of optical brightening agents, the pH, cold extract, range 8.0-9.5, and calcium carbonate should be between 2 and 5% for Buffered papers and a pH of 7 and no CaCO3 for unbuffered papers. these are some of the questions you all should be asking of the various paper mfgs/distributors. thanks for your attention robert rex
