A portable, lighted clipboard includes an elongated, substantially rigid and flat writing tablet, which forms the top of a chamber having a front and a back wall and 2 side walls. The chamber is closed when the writing tablet, which is hingedly mounted at the top thereof on the front wall of the chamber, is allowed to swing to a position contacting the side and back walls of the chamber. An open chamber is presented when the writing tablet is allowed to swing free of contact with the side and back walls of the chamber. A housing, located on the exterior surface of the writing tablet near the top thereof, houses a device, such as a battery-operated fluorescent lamp, to provide illumination, which illumination is directed by the housing along the entire length of the exterior surface of the writing tablet. A hinged clip or the like is attached to the exterior surface of the writing tablet below the housing for holding documents in place on the writing tablet. Documents which have been worked on, or are to be worked on, are stored in the compartment.
