Jim et al, Thanks for the feedback on systems. One problem I have is a lot of older certificates mainly from the UK and some from South Africa. They used to produce them in foolscap size and even larger. The UK GRO now produces certificates that are more reasonably sized but I have trouble finding archival quality sleeves to suit my old documents. I have been to Gaylords but cannot find anything. Has anyone solved this one, please?
