Craig Robertson, "The Filing Cabinet" https://placesjournal.org/article/the-filing-cabinet-and-20th-century-information-infrastructure/

A somewhat meandering piece with too many anecdotes and side issues (incl. mandatory digression into gender blah). Still a lot of valuable historical points and a plethora of good bibliographical info.
