It is whatman etc. If I got it really dry first can I wrap it in something. I have tried plastic bags but it goes rotten / mouldy. Help. I have a lifetimes supply, bought in a more affluent time.
 
Oh that's tough.

I live in the tropics, so that kind of stuff must be kept in an air conditioned space at all times.
 
You could try storing it in the loft in a cardboard box as lofts tend not to be damp.
 
The easiest thing is, take it out the house. Ask somebody if you can store it at theirs for a while, and ideally sort out your damp problem, its more important to sort it for your health more than that of the paper. But i can understand if money is an issue, it has to be put on hold until you can afford it
