- Houghton Library is a depository for Marguerite Yourcenar publications and translations. They are gifted to Houghton by Éditions Gallimard.
- All deposits are sent to HD in paige boxes. The Bibliographic Assistant receives each item, assigns an accession number, catalogs it, and sends it to end-processing for ownership labels and plates only, with instructions to return it to the Bibliographic Assistant. Items are stored in a paige box until it is full. One item record in Aleph Alma is selected for the paige box barcode. All other items receive H77 977 fields in their holdings, linking back to the ‘barcoded’ item record. If a patron requests any one of the titles, the entire box will be recalled from HD.
- As with serials and John Updike, New Directions, Gore Vidal, and Houghton Publications Archive group boxes, these items do not need Technical Services Aeon slips, either individually or for the box. They remain in the Acquisitions & End-Processing Section until delivery to HD. Individual items do not receive the HD location designation in their holdings until after the paige box has been filled, and is ready to be sent to the Depository.
