Purchasing certificates? I don't know where you live and where your family came from, but can't you photocopy them at the archive? (I have to admit that a lot of my research took place via internet and that I don't have all the certificates I would like to have.)
An amusing aside, after doing tracing my family 300 years back, I discovered that my (sadly diseased) great-aunt had done the same research in her time. I was able to get some dates from her research, but I was pleased to see that I had discovered some family lines that she had missed.
