Certificate File

[Sherbertrose]

Hi,

Does any one know where I can get a certificate file on line. I am hoping that father Christmas might bring me one but I think he might need a little help!!.

A few months ago I did see them at a family history fair, but I do not know who the supplier was. I have googled family history files, but as you can imagine it is coming up with all sorts - but not what I want.

I basically want a file to store BMD certificates. At present they are in a shoe box which is not very accessible!!

Thanks Sandra

Hi Julie,

Could you give me some idea which is the best type to get and do they take all sizes of the various certificates which are available.

Hi Julie,

Thanks for your advise.

The cost of the File doesn't seem to bad but it could get expensive with the cost of the sleeves. I have a good number of certificates now!!

Alternatively, use an ordinary ring-binder and buy acid-free pockets.

no problems, you do know though that you can put certs back to back, so in theory 10 sleeves will do 20 certs.. (and I think that you do get 5 sleeves with the binder)
