An image filing apparatus includes a reading unit for reading an image of a mark sheet. The mark sheet has a plurality of index areas on each of which an index image representing index information for retrieving an image stored in a storage medium is to be printed, a plurality of check areas on each of which a check for assigning the corresponding one of the plurality of index areas is to be entered, and a drawing area for drawing an index image to be newly registered, and for outputting an image signal. The apparatus also includes a detector for detecting which check area has been checked based on the image signal from the reading unit, a registration unit for registering, in the index area corresponding to the check area detected by the detector the index image drawn in the drawing area, and a provision unit for providing the index image drawn in the drawing area as index information of an original to be read by the reading unit after the mark sheet.
