Old paper samples needed

Paper recovered from the latest excavation at one of the largest landfills in Sydney (Eastern Creek).

Do you have, or know of, archives of different paper types (e.g. newspapers, telephone books and magazines) that are five years old or older?

Paper samples are needed for a DPI project researching the decay of a range of paper products in Australian landfills to determine carbon loss and storage.
