Re: Plastic paper clips



I used to work at the Dr. Albert B. Sabin archives at the University of
Cincinnati, and we were instructed there to use folded sheets of acid-free
paper.

I have a question.

Working in a University Archives, I have used the "archival" Plastiklips"
as a matter of course -- that is just what is done.  However, I have been
processing a collection at my local historical society, and needed some
paper clips.  That is when I really looked at the price of the things.
Since Plastiklips weren't readily available locally on a Saturday
afternoon, I took myself down to the local office supply store to see what
might be available.  Besides the regular metal paper clips, they had Acco
Plasticlips.  They look the same, and were 1/3 the price.

Does anyone know just how safe they are?  Or have you got a better
solution?  (preferably fairly low cost).
