Re: Original binders



I would document the binder and possibly keep one as a representative
example and put my resources into conserving and preserving the Archival
records contained in the binder. There are so many problems inherent in
keeping the records in the binders that I would not consider it. As far as
keeping all the binders I would have to ask the question , why?. Would one
or two satisfy the need and what is the artifact value of the binder?

Just a thought
