Lever Arch Files – a good component of any archivist’s arsenal of tools, and a familiar sight (or a familiar headache) for administrators and archive staff far and wide. While they may be useful in holding batches of files together, they can prove to be too bulky at times.
Storing Lever Arch Files in regular archive boxes can be tricky and will most likely end up in wasted storage space. You need to buy custom-made archive boxes to fully utilise storage space, or you have to lay them end on end and leave big chunks of wasted box space.
That’s where The Smart Lever Beaver comes in to save the archivist’s day!
