Document holding apparatus

A display apparatus adapted to be attached to a substantially vertical surface, the display apparatus comprising:

• a document retaining apparatus comprising:
• a plurality of dividers, each of the dividers including a front facing surface, a rear facing surface, an upper end, a lower end, and opposing lateral sides, each lateral side including a rearwardly extending flange and an end flange substantially parallel to the front and rear facing surfaces, the end flange extending outwardly from the rearwardly extending flange, the lower end including a first engagement member that is attached to a corresponding second engagement member formed on the rear facing surface of an adjacent divider so as to form a stacked interlocked configuration of a plurality of dividers defining a plurality of document retaining pockets between front and rear facing surfaces of adjacently attached dividers;
• a peripheral frame including a channel that receives the end flanges of the plurality of dividers;
• and
• at least one display board, in which both the document retaining apparatus and the at least one display board are commonly retained by the peripheral frame.

A method for manufacturing a document retaining apparatus that is adapted to be attached to a substantially vertical surface, the method comprising:

• providing a plurality of dividers, each divider having a front facing side, a rear facing side and opposing lateral sides, each lateral side having a rearwardly extending flange and an end flange substantially parallel to the front and rear facing surfaces, the end flange extending outwardly from the rearwardly extending flange;
• providing engagement features on each divider to permit the dividers to be stacked in an interlocking configuration;
• and
• providing a frame including a channel that receives the end flanges of the plurality of dividers when the plurality of dividers are stacked.
