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 ˝” wide and 1˝” 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,
