Repeat until automatic:

I am not their archivist (except for the SCA, where I still sorta am).
I do not need utility bills for the house we sold more than a year ago.
I do not need any utility bills from my mother's accounts.
I do not need credit card statements other than those showing big purchases where I might have to make a warranty claim.
I do not need pay stubs prior to the current year, except enough to document my salary history. And if I have the raise letter from the relevant employer, not at all.
I do not need old cancelled checks, except for mortgage documentation etc. and charitable deductions.

If I can just get rid of that much, I should have enough office space to file the rest!

I was repeating a very similar list yesterday as I cleaned off the shelves in the office. Turned up credit card statements from the 1990s, I did! Now they are shred into little tiny pieces. I'm so happy I invested in a heavy duty shredder.

BTW, re the SCA stuff. I'll take anything off your hands you think should be transferred to the Baronial archives.

We'll see about the baronial archives. [livejournal.com profile] goldsquare may be passing some stuff along to me, and I'm glad to know there's another pair of willing hands for the excess. How's your Pikestaff collection, for instance? Also Board minutes?
