Bankers Box is a brand name for a cardboard file storage box.
Of late, banks and businesses store most records electronically. Except
in cases like a home mortgage, where there are legal requirements to
keep the originals on file.
Most businesses these days are pretty vigorous on document retention
policies, not saving anything they don't have to, particularly if it
might *ever* come up as discovery in a lawsuit. Remember the Enron VP's
comment to her staff "Make sure you're following the retention and
disposal policy"..
I've seen some very nifty machines that will take a box full of paper
documents and with almost no human intervention, take the documents out
of the folders, scan both sides, etc. at amazingly high speeds.
But that doesn't mean that there aren't warehouses full of boxes and
crates of miscellanea out there, ready to be studied by "top men,
top..." should the need arise.

True.
I've been in warehouses with hundreds of rows of shelves of Bankers Boxes
filled with records. I doubt the stuff is even indexed.
