Excerpt from A Textbook of Filing
In considering the subject of filing, it is our purpose to place before the student the most efficient, most up-to-date methods; but before taking up the modem methods it will be interesting and profitable to consider briefly the evolution of these, for evolution always works toward betterment, and the simplicity and practicability of the present day vertical file can more readily be comprehended if we acquaint ourselves first with some of the troubles met by our forebears in their use of various methods of greater or less degree of similarity - now hopelessly out of date.
Filing - if we may give it such a name - has existed in one form or another since written history began, as is attested by the many original tablets, parchments, manuscripts, etc., of great historical value, which have come down to us through the ages, and which are now jealously guarded in museums all over the world. Without some method of preservation most of these valuable documents of antiquity would have remained forever unknown to us, although it is of course true that our possession of many of them is the result of pure chance - record-bearing stones and tablets having been found in many places buried in the loose earth, with no attempt at preservation - lost, apparently, by the men of a bygone age.
One of the most common methods used by the ancients for the "filing" of their papers was that of keeping them in a stone or earthenware vessel, and many bits of historical evidence have been preserved for us, having been written upon wax or bits of stone, or parchment, or upon the receptacle itself.
