Bought some of these years ago and they held up better than regular duty binders so when there arose an occasion where long term storage of important items became necessary these were my first choice. Was able to color co-ordinate the albums for neatness and with a label window can quickly identify what is in them. Cost was also a factor since the binders will not have to be replaced. They have a nice appearence when placed side by side and can be wiped clean without fear of color bleed. Plus they stand on edge without falling over.
I have been doing a lot of work on Ancestry.com and I find these binders to be perfect for storage and organization of all the paperwork I have been accumulating. I am making a separate notebook for each member of my family with all the ancestry information as well as documents and photographs. Since these will be valuable keepsakes for my family I wanted to secure a binder that was secure and could last many many years and hopefully be handed down through generations to come. Good product!
I should have bought the binders years ago. I would buy cheap ones for my kids to use at school and they didn't last the school year. These binders do last years and years and look good.
There are two components to this binder that make in unusable in my opinion. First the open/close tab is too small to access when the binder is full or if it's on your lap. Second the inside pockets open towards the center of the binder so every time you open it the contents spill out and continue to fall out if you are using your lap or some other uneven service.
These binders do not have to be replaced during the school year! So it is worth the investment upfront to save money in the long run! We have even been able to use some binders more than one school year!!
