Re: the trouble with stickies
This query was posted to the list a few years ago, and somone came up with a wonderful solution that I've followed faithfully.
I photocopy the sheet with the sticky still on it onto acid-free paper, then I get my little ruler and pencil out and draw an outline around the edges of the sticky. I toss the sticky away and keep the original document plus the copy of what the document looked like with the sticky attached.
For routine transmittals, containing no significant information, I just toss the sticky.

Subject: the trouble with stickies
I am working on archiving a collection in which several of the documents
have "stickies" (or post-its) attached them. As a temporary measure I've
removed the sticky, stuck it to a separate acid-free sheet of paper (usually
a partial sheet), noted the document to which the sticky applies, and
clipped the whole lot together with a shiny brass paper clip. Obviously,
this is, at best, at temporary solution.
Any suggestions on how to handle these sticky notes on a longer-term basis
for an archival collection?
Thanks.
