Glen et al--

My guess is that the answer will be found in either the Archives of Spain 
or the UK's Public Record Office. Both Spain and England were pioneers in 
arranging and describing records from the middle ages onward, and both 
have a lasting legacy in much of how we organize and understand records 
today. I would think the term "red rope" relates to the time when ribbons 
and "ropes" were affixed to official documents via wax seals, thus 
declaring them official.
