[BCMA] Storing ginger beer bottles

[Moderated BCMA subscriber listserv.]

Hello everyone,

        I have a question regarding the storage of bottles with liquid
inside them.  I will be working with a branch of a university library that
has recently acquired a small collection of documents and ephemera.   Among
the collection are several bottles of ginger beer.  I believe most were
bottled within the last few years, and we will be storing them in a cool
environment.  What is the generally accepted best practice for storing
bottles like this?  Do you empty them and save the bottles, or try to save
the bottles with the liquid inside?  In this case, the liquid is of less
interest than the bottle itself.  If you do save liquid in bottles, in what
sort of conditions do you keep them?

 

Thanks for your advice,
