For file boxes and cartons, file unit numbers consist of the container number, followed by a period, then the folder (or item) number (e.g., 10.1). See pages 24-27 for specific examples.

Volumes

Small- and medium-sized volumes are stored in individual folders (one volume per folder), and filed in Hollinger boxes. Although the folder description should specify that the item is a volume, the file unit number does not. Bound volumes housed unfoldered in in Hollinger or in oversized boxes, however, receive a "v" following the number (e.g., 1OB.1v) since they are not inside folders; they follow the same numbering conventions as folders.
