Original certificates are larger than the usual A4 clear pockets. Is there anywhere that you can get bigger acid free pockets or folders for them to fit into ? I dont want to fold them or leave them 'sticking' out the top of my folder as they will get damaged. Suggestions please. Thanks in advance Flossy

I don't know of any, sorry. My great-great-grandparents' marriage certificate has been folded over. Joy

I purchased a special folder, for my certs complete with pockets that hold the certs. I brought it at a family history fair, but you can get them on line. Sorry don't know the name of the compmany.

Hi I think S&N Genealogy Supplies have them. If you Google the name you'll find the website as I can't remember it offhand. Daisy

I saw one by accident on a web site yesterday - will go and have a look to see if I can find it again. They were great, leather in a choice of colours. Back soon :))

Flossy where are you? I ask as there is Family history show in London at the end of April. There is a couple of companies that supply them, I got mine there last yr.

Flossy Sorry, it was S&N, the same as everyone else has suggested. Birth, marriage and death certificate binder with archival quality sleeves These decorative binders have 'Certificates' in gold lettering on the cover and spine. They are available in burgundy, dark blue, dark green and black padded leather grain style finish. Each binder comes with four archival sleeves. The binder can take both long certificates and A4 certificates from records offices. They can take up to 50 sleeves, therefore holding up to 100 certificates back to back. Chrissie

Flossy try typing Certificate binders in your search and have a lok at what comes up.

Thanks to everyone for their ideas. I'm quite a way from London.....in Malvern Worcs. and I havent seen or heard of any fairs around here. Is there a particular place where these fairs are listed ? Flossy

There is a fair at Gloucester on 23rd April, Ann in Glos has a thread going about it Cherry

Flossy Use this link for details of future events: http://geneva.weald.org.uk/ There is an event hosted by Shrewsbury FHS in Shrewsbury itself on 4 June.

I had to fold my parents cert. along the top. My birth cert is folded in half, but it was already falling apart with all the travelling we did when children. Deanna
