The suggested capacity for each case is 8-10 items, with the suggestion that less can often be more, especially if materials are text-heavy. It is also important to consider how labels will fit into case layouts (both individual item labels and thematic labels, if necessary).
Preservation Services can construct mountings and supports that help display items in the cases to their best advantage/fit them in the available space; library staff should consult with Preservation Services when considering layout options for each case and before finalizing each case–supports are built individually based on an item's location within the display, so cooperation is required in order to have things work smoothly and successfully.
