I would suggest to laminate the documents to save it from wear and tear. The documents should be arranged in proper stack with stack id and the stack entry should be maintained in register for quick reference. The documents should not be near damp areas or near fire.

  1. The first step of documentation start by keeping your physical documents secure using a safe or fireproof/ waterproof case.
  2. It is important to have good filling system. This means designing a smart file organization scheme right from the beginning.
  3. Invest in a series of file cabinets and arrange them according to the types of records they hold, keeping basic record types together and using folders and partitions to separate individual files
  4. To safe space it is advisable to remove old or unused document on periodic base

Proper shelving under controlled condition of temperature, humidity, light and air. AC controlled is the best option. The other option is to digitize the collection, especially the rare and expensive one. Both option depend on the budget and other facilities available in the Library.
