How
does your family pass down its legacy of personal
history and life experiences? When the past is
too distant or complex for mere memory, we rely
on the family album, Great-Grandma's handmade
quilt, Uncle's wartime correspondence, and other
memorabilia to give us a sense of time, place,
and connection. |
|
|
|
|
Whether
your treasures have been handed down for generations
or are brand new "heirlooms," beware
most storage products available in stores can
have a toxic effect of these delicate valuables.
Together with the passage of time, your family's
history can tragically become fragile and discoloured.
|
| Save
your legacy in nothing but the best - our archival
kits - perfect for genealogists, family historians,
and people with "stuff." The
Document Preservation Kit, Keepsake
Kit, Textile Preservation Kit,
and The Photo/Art/Newspaper Storage
Kit all include archival enclosures &
instructions on how to preserve your treasures.
The final touch is a cotton cover monogrammed
with your family name or initials that keeps damaging
dust and light to a minimum. A lasting heirloom
in itself, the timeless look of our monogrammed
boxes is surpassed only by the timeless treasures,
prepared for long-term preservation, within. |
|
|
|
The
next time you uncover or create some of your family's
history, you will be able to rest easy, knowing
it rests in the same protective enclosures and
boxes used by archival institutions worldwide.

Bits
of family history do not always come in convenient sizes.
That is why the Oversized photo/artwork/newspaper Box
Kit is so handy! Filled with acid-free, buffered interleaving
paper, this box stores large flat documents safely.
And although we always recommend that newspaper clippings
be photocopied onto acid-free paper and the originals
destroyed (visit
Ask the Archivist) for the newspaper you simply
have to keep, we are happy to in clued oversized polypropylene
newspaper storage bags in lieu of the interleaving paper.
Our signature cotton muslin box cover offers a spot
for monogramming in addition to serving the practical
purpose of limiting dust, light, and marks to the box.
-
measures 24 " x 20 " x 3".
-
includes 20 sheets of acid-free buffered interleaving
paper to separate individual pieces of art work
OR 20 archival plastic newspaper bags
-

For your precious heirloom textiles, a storage solution
so easy, and elegant! Heirloom items and new items
destined to be family treasures will look beautiful
in our cotton-swathed archival box with custom
monogramming. Keeping quilts, lace, uniforms
and other textiles in plastic containers will only
cause those items to fade, get moldy, and deteriorate.
Similarly, although cedar chests are wonderful for
limiting insect infestation of your precious textiles,
they can cause irreparable harm to fabrics. If you
are planning to hand down or simply enjoy in the
future a few of your family's most special pieces,
this is the place to store them.
The
Family Heritage Textile Preservation box is made
from translucent water-resistant archival polymer
which is acid free, lignin-free, dye-free, and adhesive-free.
Our boxes are assembled by hand so they are safe
from potentially-dangerous adhesives. More stable
over time than even archival fibreboard because
our boxes will not absorb moisture and develop problems
resulting from moisture.
- box does not get sealed so you are encouraged
to take the lid off, don the cotton gloves and check
your treasures and the acid-free, unbuffered tissue
wrapping them from time to time, and most of all,
enjoy the contents whenever you want to!
-
protects your textiles from light, dust, moisture,
humidity, and harmful temperature fluctuations
common to most households. Our instructions will
tell you where in your home to place your box,
avoiding "trouble spots."
-
not attractive to insects and vermin who seek
out cardboard and glues to infest and eat
-
sturdy, lightweight construction
-
classic unbleached cotton muslin protective bag
further reduces light and dust damage.
