CATCHALL (NEW)
Consult with end processor. End processor will decide what kind of box to use for the first box. End processor may re-house for either upright or flat storage. Often first box stays onsite and accumulates material until full and then (sometimes) sent to HD. End processor determines box and folder numbers, provides and attaches labels. Archivist enters detailed information for label taken directly from finding aid (NOT the title of the collection) and entered into tracking form. End processor shelves and completes finding aid locations & container profiles. Though comprised of items with separate provenances, individual folders in boxes do not get barcoded, unless they are in drawers with "Folder" as the top container. If a half-width document box is used, it is called a "box" (not a volume) in Alma. (see MS Am 3466 Emily Dickinson)

CONSERVATION
Any information gathered about housing/handling/labeling recommended by Conservation staff should be shared between the archivists, assistants and the end processor. So that it can be added to this manual for future use. This kind of follow up is crucial to our obligation for keeping collections safe.
