Helmut,
I'm not qualified to give more than a general reply to your question.
Archival quality protectors come as boxes, folders, page protectors, photo albums, etc. They are made to protect the stored materials from deterioration or further degradation from chemicals and acids and light.

There are many outlets for obtaining them. If someone has a favorite they should post it.
Till someone does just type - archival quality document protectors - into a search engine and results should be abundant.
Here's one descriptive link -

you want to look for MYLAR storage type bag/envelope,,and acid free backing board which you would change every few years..
Of course keep away from water / humid areas..
