If you’re looking for a practical gift for a family historian, think about getting sets of these clear, plastic document protectors.
These are letter sized which is great for holding many kinds of papers that are gathered during family research. While many documents can be found and saved online, it is very common for one to order copies of original documents and considering those are rarely free, being able to keep them safe from water, food, or fingerprints is necessary for long-term safe keeping.
I know I have death certificates, marriage licenses, and military documents in my own collection and am always looking for ways to keep them in great condition.
