  • Certificate Albums ?

    Has anyone got one, I am thinking of getting one, I might re do my things in my Scrapbook Album now, when I started I didnt know I would gather so much, so it needs up dating, just wondered if they any good.

    Depends what you want, Patti.

    I keep my certs in acidfree polypockets from WH Smith in the relevant surname file. I think albums made specificially for certs are quite pricey, but I suppose it depends how many certs you have to store.

    www.cwsparkinson.co.uk does A3 sized document holdalls for £27. There are other specialist genealogical suppliers, I think The National Archives at Kew stocks some.

      I agree with Nell, it depends what you want!

      Also, how many of those long certs do you have and is it likely you will get any more? All the copy certs issued these days are A4, so storage of those can be a lot cheaper than for the long ones.

      I have nearly 400 certs so far! (it's been a long time!!) and they are stored in three hanging files in a filing cabinet drawer.

        Oh my 400, oh no I only have about a dozen so far, I am just trying to make a nice book of all the information about the family, I dont just want to have it on a Computer I would like it readable and interesting if I can.I Have it in a 12in Scrapbook, laid out with Census's and photos but its getting too much so I want to trim it all down a bit and re do it.Yes they are A4 size.

          Hi Patti,

          I have three albums, one each for birth, marriage & death & that works for me but then I have a lot of certs too.

          You will find a good selection of storage solutions, amoungst other things, on 'Family History Quests' a website owned & run by one of our own members, Miss Dynamite/ Clare.
