Surprises in the wall


Martin started tearing out walls and ceilings and found this gem hanging behind the sheetrock on an outside wall.  The calendar is signed by several people. We assume they were the builders of the original house.  We intend to frame it and keep it as part of the character of the house.  Any suggestions  on how to keep the calendar from deteriorating further or ideas of what to do with it other than frame it are welcome.





We've brought the calendar home to protect it from being exposed to the construction site.  Once seen in decent light, we could read what was written on it. 
"This wallboard was put up on this day, March 2, 1023" and signed by John Woodman and Jack ....
Unfortunately, Jack's last name isn't clear enough to decipher.  Maybe Boynton.
