Or use an archival document box and mylar archival photo sleeves. I purchased the box at a photo/framing store (Aaron Bros) and ordered the sleeves through MetalEdge (in Los Angeles, CA). MetalEdge also sells all kinds of archival supplies but min qty is often 3 and I didn't need that many. They come in several sizes but I find 9x12 is most useful. I place my certificates in the sleeve with a label on the outside and then cross-reference "DocBox01" in my file. I don't have scores of certificates, so this works fine for my needs.
Fyi: www.metaledgeinc.com Hope this helps.

Mine is a 12 x12 and is big enough to hold my larger certificates when a regular sheet protector can't. Check out your local craft stores for scrapbooking supplies. They are archival safe now and have sheet protectors in them to slip in the documents.
