Photograph albums will comprise part of the photograph series. If the volume remains intact, assign a PD volume number (e.g., MC500-PD.15v). Volumes with broken spines or other preservation problems (fastened together by metal rods, string, etc.) should be dismantled and housed in folders, whether standard or oversized. Disbound volumes receive a PD folder number (e.g., MC500-PD.16-PD.18).

Although oversized photo albums are listed in the photo series, they are boxed separately, not filed with other photographs. The file unit number does not use the "PD"-prefix, but instead uses the box number (e.g., 40FB.1v), and thus the photo id number uses the box number as well (e.g., MC 600-40FB.1v- 1). These are housed at HD with other oversized, folio and folio+ volumes.

If the album is large and contents are divided into multiple folders, note 1 of x, 2 of x, 3 of x, etc., on the folder near the folder heading. 

Photographs that come loose while processing (remember to note on the back which page they came from) or were found loose in a scrapbook should be put into a photograph folder. Move loose photographs to a photograph folder and number them as part of that photograph folder. Label the folders (e.g., "From Anna Pruitt's photo photograph album" and 1 of 3, 2 of 3, etc).
