Default Antique Lace Shawl Repair

I have a beautiful black antique Spanish lace shawl that belonged to my great great grandmother. It was given to her daughter, my great grandmother. She then gave it to her son, my grandfather, who then gave it to his daughter, my mother. This is all well documented in my grandfather's handwriting dated 1901.

It is absolutely beautiful, but needs some minor repair as it has several, maybe five or six, small rips in the lace. I would like to have it repaired and preserved in some way. Does anyone have any suggestions?
