Thanks for all your suggestions. I knew you guys would know better than me.
The birth certificate is already in a state of disrepair.sticky taped
together and some of that tape is already brown.
I guess I just want to keep it so it continues to exist in today's
condition.
Think I'll pop over to Nedlands and have a look at their products. Thanks
Rosemary!!
Have a great WA Day and batten down the hatches.

Hi forgot to say copy them to A4 Landscape or A3 or Scan them - otherwise
photograph them and as formats change in the future keep migrating them to
the new formats in the future.
Kind regards

Subject: [dps-chat] Preserving certificates
Hi all,
Hope you are all enjoying a lazy WA long weekend.
I've recently pulled out my grandmothers birth and marriage certificate.
Birth cert from 1910 is not in a good way.
Marriage certificate is bigger than A3.
My thought were to at least copy these so I have them still. Easier said
than done.
Anyhoo I've finally found a printing company that have a big enough flatbed
scanner to scan and copy for me after about 6 places.
I certainly couldn't risk them going through rollers.
So once I've got them copied I'm wondering would laminating them preserve
them from further deterioration or are there other ways so that I still at
least have an intact original.
Looking forward to suggestions.
Liane
