I fear this may not be eligible but..... I have recently come across a file in our records management system labelled "Ancient Misc.".
Is this an archival advance on the old miscellaneous section which we were all taught to avoid using? It certainly sounds more intriguing than "letters from unidentified correspondents" or similar variations!

I know it's not Friday but I thought I'd share these with you all.
In the category of Most Inept Piece of Cataloguing
"Photo of family, nineteenth century" turned out to include Queen Victoria and
the Kaiser
and Most Useless Index Reference:
"Letter, not dated, illegible"
Any other nominations?
