multiple copies of all paper that could even possibly be relevant, including copies of any totally irrelevant paper
that they have previously asked for, to every interview. Relevant today includes every diploma you have ever earned, every license and certification you have, ID, reference addresses, in some fields lists of courses you took and transcripts, birth certificate, and resume.
