The benefit of acid free is for keeping 'original' documents in good condition, like certificates. I use the ordinary ones for things like printouts of censuses etc. Mandy :)

	The acid free wallets stop the print from certificates etc from lifting off the paper. A while ago WHSmith were selling them half price for 99p for 50 !!!.

He was very scathing about the fact that I wasn't using them. As I'd just acquired 200 ordinary ones I thought it best to get some 'experienced' opinions as to which is best. ( I'm also tight with the pennies!!! :-)). I'd be interested to hear what you think. Cheers Heather
