Tuesday's Tip: Time to Stock Up on Archival Supplies at the Hollinger Fall Sale

Want to shop where professional archivists get their archival supplies? And how about a 15 percent discount at the same time? 

Then head to the Fall 2011 sale at Hollinger Metal Edge to stock up. To be completely honest, I get nervous when genealogists tell me they buy acid-free supplies at Walmart or other retail outlets that aren't in the preservation business. Archivists swear by Hollinger, the leader in this field since 1945. If they say it's acid-free, you can count on it.

Products I really like include:


 

 

 

Flip-top Document Storage Boxes

 

 

 




Textile Storage (also great for flat oversized documents)







  








If you've heard my presentation on organization, you know that this is where you should be spending your storage dollar, rather than on elaborate binders, color-coded systems, and sheet protectors from discounters and office supply stores. Please store your original and vintage materials appropriately in trusted archival supplies like the ones from Hollinger. (And I have no financial interest in Hollinger.)

Sale ends November 30th!

  1. Actually, while Light Impressions apparently used to be a good company, it has recently gone downhill. See the Santa Fe Springs, CA BBB review at Better Business Bureau.

  2. Their customer service is practically non-existent, but the quality of their products is excellent.
