Handling files
Files consist of loose sheets held together in one corner by a treasury tag. The type of paper and the page size may vary, and files may contain photographs, or folded maps and drawings.

Check the tag length:
The tag should be long enough so that you can turn the pages when the file is fully open. |
 |
Turn pages carefully:
The punched hole is particularly vulnerable and easily torn.
Please ask for assistance if the file is damaged or badly tagged. |
 |
When you have finished:
Tuck pages inside the cover so that they are protected.
