Heh. I wish that wasn't as accurate as it is. Much of the BBC's Archive (the documents and photos, but thankfully not the programmes) I meticulously and completely indexed on cards. What's most interesting is that as you get more recent they get harder to read, as they started out typed but are now handwritten. People don't have typewriters on their desks anymore...
