We are currently undertaking a review of the ways in which we store our paper catalogues. The spring-back binders in which we keep our lists of parish registers in the searchroom deteriorate very rapidly under the amount of handling they receive, and we are looking, if possible, to employ something a little more hard-wearing and permanent in the future. If any list members have suggestions or recommendations (especially with regard to suppliers), they would be gratefully received. Please reply off-list.
