Should I use a drawer liner inside flat file cabinet drawers?

A drawer liner in flat file cabinet drawers can be beneficial for protecting delicate originals from contact with the steel drawer bottom. Options include: acid-free mat board cut to drawer size (provides a smooth, neutral surface), archival tissue laid flat, or commercial archival drawer liners available from museum supply companies. Avoid foam liners that off-gas chemicals harmful to archival materials. For general office use with standard drawings and prints, no liner is needed — the steel drawer bottom is clean and smooth. For museum, gallery, or archival use with original works of significant value, an acid-free liner is a prudent addition.
