The next step was boxing the files, and sending them off to be stored long term on microfilm.Throughout this process, Microsoft Office products were used to maintain organization. In the end, approximately 75 boxes of old records were sent to be put on microfilm. On three different occasions, I worked in the Education & Training department.
