If pens are banned, photograph letters and documents on top of the folders they live in and make sure the folder tab is visible in your photo. It will probably have some or all of the metadata you need to cite it properly later.

In repositories where pens are not banned, carry a small whiteboard for noting names of collections, box numbers, folder numbers, etc., to photograph along with the archival material.
