How should I be keeping the copies of certificates I get from the GRO?Should they be in acid free plastic sleeves? my original certs are but I'm not sure about the modern copies. Where can I get acid freesleeves?
Thank you for any help.

I keep my modern ones in ordinary plastic wallets..... in ring binders.
You can buy acid-free in W.H.Smith or other similar shops if you want them.

I used to get mine from W.H. Smith too, although I haven't needed any for quite a while. They were quite reasonable in price.
