Re: Original binders



I would removes the papers to acid free folders as you suggest and keep one
or two of the binders as an example.  They probably have no intrinsic
documentary value;  rather they primarily have what I consider to be
"exhibit value."  You could include them in an "Artifacts and Ephemera" note
on the collection inventory.

Hi,

I have a number of three ring binders that are leather and inscribed with
the name of a person or foundation in my collections.  I want to take the
papers out of the binders to put in acid-free folders and boxes, but I
also want to keep the binders since they are part of the collection.
Should I keep the papers in them?  Would people keep the binders?  How
would you arrange them within the collection?

Thank you,

Kristen Romano
