History
These relatively inexpensive folders are made of card stock and have two internal pockets for the storage of loose leaf paper. The pockets are printed with a variety of reference information including factors for converting between Imperial and metric measurement units, and a multiplication table. The folders have fallen out of general use by the 2000s, but are available from Mead as of 2013.
The illustrations on Pee Chee folders changed occasionally over the years, but usually depict high-school-age students engaged in sports or other activities. It became popular to deface these figures. The major difference between Pee Chees and other paper folders is the inside pockets. Pee Chees have pockets located at the sides, not the bottom, which prevents the contents from falling out if the folder is inadvertently stored upside down.
The Pee-Chee portfolio was given its name because the folders were initially only available in peach but are now available in a variety of colors.

Famous quotes containing the word history:
“It takes a great deal of history to produce a little literature.”
—Henry James (1843–1916)
“When the coherence of the parts of a stone, or even that composition of parts which renders it extended; when these familiar objects, I say, are so inexplicable, and contain circumstances so repugnant and contradictory; with what assurance can we decide concerning the origin of worlds, or trace their history from eternity to eternity?”
—David Hume (1711–1776)
“The history of modern art is also the history of the progressive loss of art’s audience. Art has increasingly become the concern of the artist and the bafflement of the public.”
—Henry Geldzahler (1935–1994)
