Archival-quality pen and pencil set for genealogy (7 pieces)

This 7-piece set is designed to help genealogists record and preserve family history data with precision. It provides a variety of writing instruments to accommodate different stages of research, from drafting uncertain dates in pencil to finalizing archival records in permanent ink.

Product Features

This set includes four archival-quality pens in two colors, black and blue, allowing for color-coded data entry or personal preference.

The different tip sizes, including fine and medium points, provide flexibility for writing in small pedigree chart cells or larger family group sheets.

A pre-sharpened pencil and premium eraser are included specifically for "penciling in" names or dates during the verification stage of research.

A gel pen is provided for general note-taking and marking up research materials that do not require archival ink.

All pens and pencils in this set are compatible with acid-free paper forms and are designed to be comfortable for extended writing sessions.
