Abstract:
A records management kit for use in setting up and maintaining a cross-referenced, easily enterable, file folder - based document filing and retrieval system comprises a file guide book, a file index, a series of file folders, and a series of file folder labels. The file guide book has a series of page sets separated by headings or tabs, each including at least one main category page and subsequent subcategory pages. Each main category page has subcategory headings and can have associated file indicia marks positioned thereon which correspond to file indicia marks positioned on the associated subcategory pages. The pages of the file guide book are color (and possibly indicia)--keyed to the file folder labels and are also keyed to main category, and subcategory (and possibly file indicia) information printed on the file index sheet together with an expanded listing of specific document types relating generally to the various main categories and subcategories. The detailed cross-referencing among the filing guide book, the file index and the file folder labels, when affixed to their respective file folders, permits a user to rapidly file or retrieve a particular document, even with no prior familiarity with the filing system, simply by using the file index sheet. Further information regarding suggested content or use of a particular file is additionally positioned on the subcategory pages of the file guide book, such information being rapidly and easily locatable using either the file index or correlated information marked on the labels.
