I'll bet there is. Remember, Fred and George stole the Marauders' Map
out of a file drawer in Filch's office. It's not certain that the file
was on the Marauders themselves, but it's strongly implied later--Lupin
tells Harry that he (Lupin) happens to know that the map had been
confiscated years ago. The implication is that it was taken from the
Marauders themselves, and thus would be in their file.

Or maybe not.
