I don't know how viable it would be for you, but I rescued quite a few books from moisture by putting them speaded in a hermetic box with dry, powdered magnesium sulfate[1] or similar desiccant. It's quick to take out excess water from almost everything and can itself be dried quickly in an oven. Maybe it could be used to store/regenerate some of the blotter paper? Or at least make the mold less of an issue thanks to shorter periods of dampness.

[1] - EDIT: That's the same as Epsom salt. I didn't know it had a colloquial name. Anyway, you don't need this stuff to be high grade.
