Sources for repairing old cardboard boxes

As a collector I am able to find my prewar items and post war S gauge items in their original boxes on occasion.  I know that there is a whole sub category of collecting that addresses the condition of boxes and the effect on the value of the item if its original box is present.

Quite a few of the boxes that I have are very fragile - some of them being almost 75 years old.  Many of them have flaps that have become detached.  I am looking for sources - articles, or websites, etc. that have infromation on how to repair boxes this old.  I am sure there are some folks who would question if the repair decreases the value of the box.  I believe that CTT carried an article on repairing boxes at some point, but I don't remember when I read it.   I wonder if the types of repairs that are made on old books would work on old cardboard boxes?

I would appreciate any suggestions on where I can find this type of information.  I would like to preserve as many of the original boxes as I can.

Thanks,

Greg
