Labelling
Mark all storage containers with the accession number and the box number.
Add the accession name, if desired.
Always label each folder and box clearly, numbering each as "file 3" or "file 1 of 4" or "box 6" or "box 2 of 6" . This will ensure that losses or gaps are easily noticed.
If any materials are restricted, mark the boxes with a large red sticker or tag, to remind you to check the accession record before allowing researchers to use the records.
