one place i was at had ridiculous formatting standards. but like i loved that i could tell everything in a document by reading its title. just, when your pdf scan of your supporting documents for your tax return is 135 pages long, well the title took ten minutes to read

it was like 2010 tax return supporting documents + w2 - john doe - abc corp + w2 - john doe - def corp + 1099INT - john doe - BankBank +...pdf

and one of my jobs was to double check that the title accurately represented all 135 documents in that godsforsaken supporting documents scan. That was a rough year.

Other firm i worked at that year, because i was stupid and moonlit at TWO tax firms one tax season, just called the file SUPPORTING DOCS.pdf . Typed everything in all caps because we thought the IRS was blind. Also allowed us to stream music online and not have to play it on headphones with our doors shut in our offices. They were better.

are we just talking digital because i've inherited archives. my current one only goes back to the 1950s but in the next decades i expect to get some going back centuries.

i was going to send y'all a link to where i got mine, because it's pretty neat, but apparently they had a fire last month so their catalog is down while they're rebuilding. I WAS GOING TO GO THERE ON SATURDAY DAMMIT. I have a fancy pirate costume for halloween and I get to wear this ~~jacket~~ coat like once a year.
