Linda-

 

How about using additional file folders? There will be additional bulk and expense, but it's easy. 

 

Heresy follows:  Place a strip of "archival" paper about ½" wide and 1½" long over the upper left corner of the papers and staple them together using a little stapler. If course you shouldn't do this to your most valuable (however defined) papers, but there are plenty of borderline collections out there. I've seen clips cause a lot more damage than two tiny holes. The paper strip protects the documents and lets others know that you didn't staple things willy-nilly. 

 

Running for cover,

Hi...Can anyone recommend a source of archival fasteners to use around loose pages, to replace rubberbands and paper clips?  Thanks,  Linda Rothbart
