If you can't find what you're looking for an acid free polly pocket will offer protection then insert in a rigid plastic wallet.

However, moisture should be kept at bay. I'd phone your local archives for their advice. Failing that try the LMA conservationists.

Thanks SomersetGirl--I've tried that site, but no sure answer yet, as they have only a phone number, will try it in the morning. I've found several plastics companies on google who look to have a range of possible products i could make use of, so I'll be following that too--regards arfermo--(Somersetman)

Hello all---Can anyone direct me to a supplier of RIGID clear plastic file leaves, so that very delicate documents, that cannot be handled anymore, are both preserved and yet viewed from both sides. The more common files that we keep our usual BMD certs in are too flexible for these. The rigid suport pages would obviously need to be acid free and all that. Put simply, I need ( per document ) two thin but rigid ,clear plastic sheets of say--A4 size, that can fit into a file like those from 'S & M genealogy Supplies' that is harmless to paper.---thank you--Arfermo
