What To Store Old Fragile Certificates In
« on: Thursday 19 January 12 11:07 GMT (UK) »
I have got quite a few old WW1 and birth/marriage/death certificates most of which are fragile.  I am looking for advice on how is best to store them.  I would ideally like to purchase some reasonablly priced clear plastic sleeves/folders to keep them in so that they can be viewed without having to be handled.  I know they should be acid free and not pvc but that is all I know really.  Should I also have a sheet of acid free non coloured tissue paper in the plastic sleeve too? 

Many thanks in advance
