I am currently wrapping up a long collection processing project.  Within this collection we have a number of files that are restricted.  I would like to mark the files in some way that makes these restricted files stand out as clearly off limits, something easy to see yet removable once the restriction guidelines set them to be opened for access.  I was thinking some sort of colored clip on the folder, but fear that a regular paperclip will fall off.  There are obviously also preservation concerns associated with the material of what is used, although if we keep it on the folder itself rather than the object, I am somewhat less concerned with this issue.

 

I think just writing “Restricted” with pencil on the folder may not be sufficient.

 

Does anyone have anything they use or any other thoughts?

Thanks,
