Archival Acid Free Storage Boxes

Archival acid free storage is extremely important for the safe preservation and longevity of all your precious keepsakes, books, photos, documents and other memorabilia such as materials etc.

Our one piece boxes with a clamshell design and hinged lid provide a strong and easily accessible means of safely archiving your precious keepsakes for future generations.

Made with a strong blue/grey board 1.5mm thick and lined with a white lignin free paper. Also buffered with 3% calcium carbonate for an alkaline reserve which helps to protect the contents against migrating acidity and atmospheric sulphur contamination.

Archival Safe Photo Pen

Our archival safe photo Signature pen is acid free and a pen that can be safely used not only on the backs of photographs but also on the front. Acid free ink should be used not only for protecting your photographs but also for the longevity of what you have written.

Using normal non acid free ink can not only harm your photographs and documents but the ink will almost certainly fade and not preserve your information for long term.

We have just secured a large order of these pens from the Manx Museum on the Isle of Man http://www.gov.im/mnh/heritage/museums/manxmuseum.xml

Certainly archivists and museums etc know how to safely archive documents, photographs and artifacts. If you have any questions on preserving your Family History please contact us or visit our Archiving section at

Family Tree Printing

Have you printed out your long family tree on pages of A4 paper then had to trim the edges and margins, line up and stick together? Or have you used a roll of wallpaper to write it out by hand?

Many Family Historians/Genealogists have all experienced the above but Family Tree Folk have the solution!

We have 90 gsm A4 bright white acid free continuous fine perforated paper in 20 sheet packs (nearly 6 metres) allowing you to print your tree with no breaks. Print or write between 1 and 20 to suit the length of your tree.
