Housing and recording small amounts of oversize
Housing
We've created 2 communal oversize boxes that are intended to be used when you have a couple of OS items and don't want to waste space or $ in a 1.5“ or 3” deep box limited to just that collection.
One box is 20×24“ and the other one is 14×18“. There is one size in-between that we can add as well.
Lorraine has stock to make folders on demand. Store multiple items per folder.
Stamp the folder (Lorraine has been leaving a 1/5” tab) and label appropriately.
Add notes on the tab as needed, i.e. “Rooney: album covers and posters”. I filled out the stamped box/folder space this way for communal oversize box 1, folder 1: COS 1:1
Add the folder number and collection number/name to the inventory sheet that lives in the box.
These boxes live on 26 at T.4:F4
