Good archival management means you know what you need to keep... and what you can discard (read more about this in the tool about valuation). This applies for both your paper and your digital archives. The first step is cleaning the archive. This means removing all harmful materials like plastic folders, metal (paper clips, lever arch and box files, staples, ring binders…), elastic bands, sticky tape, glue and so on. For your digital archive it's important to scan for and remove any viruses. When cleaning up, we also remove any unnecessary duplicates, draft versions, empty folders, etc. Cleaning up your archive ensures they're easier to search and care for. A clean archive also takes up less space in the physical storage area or on the server.
