This is the final step in completing your history. Many people write histories for publication for just family and friends, and find that expensive binding and printing is not what they want or can afford. There are several ways to finish off your history to make it look attractive and professional without the expense.
Three Ring Binders: There are many styles of three ring binders available in many price ranges. They can be found in scrapbook stores, department stores, discount stores, office supply stores, and here at the Family History Center.
Spiral and Plastic Comb Binding: This is available at most copy and print stores, and here at the Family History Center.
Hot Tape Binding: This is also available at most copy and print stores.
Hard Cover and Paperback Binding: This is available at some copy and print shops, but may have to be done through professional printing outlets.
Exercise: Print out your history. Keep adding to it each year.
