I use the archival grade clear sheets to store and display my orders.  I insert 
a piece of low acid white paper into the clear sheet to provide an opaque 
background.  I then insert the train order/clearance card.  This method allows 
me to display/store 2 orders per clear sheet.

I do not use gloves, but make sure my hands are clean and dry.  Handling 
fragile orders with gloves would be difficult.  I have not experienced any 
damage to the ink or carbon writing on my orders.
