As I recall (don't have OOTP handy at the moment) Harry learned after the 
fact that if anyone but the person(s) who was/were named on it touched it they 
would go insane. That could easily include any record keeper.

I tend to think that the original prophecy was labeled only with the date it 
was made, the name of the person who made it and the person who heard it 
(easier to find that way) and then "officially" named once the participants were 
clear.
