Usually shelved upright, some collections consist of annotated books, diaries or pamphlets. The difference between a collection of bound volumes and a single item bound volume is that the single item will not have an ArchivesSpace finding aid. Not all such collections will require a box, especially if they will stay onsite. For some collections of smaller/thinner/more fragile pamphlets, choosing a box will depend on the thickness and overall size of the items. Sometimes these fit well in custom folders within a document box,. About 20 regular letter or legal-sized folders can be cut by the end processor with the guillotine cutter to the size of the shorter dimension. These will face the end of the box that has the label on it. An example is MS Thr 473, a collection of prompt books, currently at HD. You should have the end processor assess the collection before you begin. For more examples, see. See End processor's guidelines.
