Hi Irene,

Are these acid free, if not then they would be good for COPIES of documents only, where you keep the originals somewhere else safe. Any original documents, important documents or photographs could be quite rapidly damaged if stored in non acid free storage..
Just thought I would mention that incase there was anyone who wasn't aware of the damage non acid free storage can do, especially when documents could be stored for many years.

Sainsburys have an half price offer now £3.99 for five files each with plastic outer covers and 20 clear display pockets inside so they hold 40 sheets each that all fit into a magazine file that comes with this set. It can stand by your pc. A good way to tidy up all those census pages and copies of birth marriage and death certificates. Irene
