could anyone help me, I have recently come into possession of a large quantity of birth/ marriage/ death certificates and would like to know if anyone is aware of specific wallets/ plastic inserts that I can store these in as some from the 1800's are very delicate. Any tips or suggestions greatly received

If you're in the UK, I believe you can get acid-free plastic wallets from WH Smiths.

Photo copy them so you never need to touch the originals again, store the originals in acid free folders somewhere dry.

You can get really nice albums specifically for certs (especially the old long ones) from my-history website
