out of curiosity, how do you guys store the long marriage certs from the local register offices? they're took big for a4 pockets. could pop a few in an a3 pocket.

You used to be able to get appropriate sized poly pockets and files from a specialist firm, but it may well have gone out of business - the copies of certificates are now usually reduced down to a narrow strip, which is sent on an A4 sheet of paper. I get a lot of marriages from the online parish registers, crop the image and paste that onto an A4 sheet.

I only have a very few of those long certificates. I'm afraid I fold the right hand end over to get it into an A4 folder. I very rarely look at the paper ones because I scanned all of them and access them on the computer if I need to check the details for any reason.

I have special inserts and a long binder where I store all of my certs.. I have one binder each for Births, Marriages and Deaths. I had mine from S&N Genealogy Supplies:

I have the long binders which will house long marriage certs but also A4 ones

ETA: I found that delivery was very quick too.

As Janet says, S&N is the company that sells what you need. Here’s the link to their page for their Long Certificate Binders. You can get them in red, green and black which correspond with B, M, D. They also come in blue I think. I have one each of the first three colours as I have some original Scottish birth certificates which are longer than A4. They also sell inserts and divider cards. I bought the standard quality binders rather than the luxury boxed ones and they do the job fine.
