I just inherited a hair on horse hide that's 60+ years old and has probably spent the last 40 years in storage somewhere.

What are some ways that I can clean up and preserve the hair side?

The hair is 2 to 5 inches in length, and has been vacuumed gently. Hair feels dry to the touch.

What would you use on the flesh side to preserve it for another 60+ years?

Has a fair amount of flexibility and folds without complaint or cracking, but very dry and brittle for about an inch in on the edges.

Pictures to come.

A couple of photos. Not in great shape, but would be nice if I could get some use out of it.
