    Take them to a professional framer. They need to be under glass with an acid free backer board and acid free mats. The framing will be costly, but it will keep the paintings in top condition. If the paintings are valuable, museum mounting is best. It preserves the paintings.

    Have them matted and framed under glass using acid free materials. It is important to not expose them to sun light or strong fluorescent light.
