Here are the three basic ways to store files. Business Archives recommends
one of the first two methods as most files can be easily identified and can
be keyed into our computer system to provide reports and control over your
files. Also, using a date and alpha system or a numbered system will
easily allow you to purge files when they reach your established
retention schedule.
| 1. By date and alpha range | Example | |
| 1988 Accounts Payable A-M 1988 Accounts Payable N-Z , etc. |
||
| 2. By numeric range | Example | |
| 0001-0050 0051-0100 , etc. |
||
| Or, prefix the range with a year for purge purposes | Example (using 1994) | |
| 940001-940050 940051-940100 , etc. |
||
| 3. By individual name | Example | |
|

To best decide the method that suits your needs, ask
yourself:
"How do I find a file now?" |
