Storing



Once everything is organized, filed, labeled and boxed, the boxes need to be shelved in the storage area.

  • Never organize your storage area by subject, alphabetical, or chronological order, as every time you receive a collection you would be forced to shift boxes to make space.

  • Instead, simply establish a consecutive numbering system. Number each shelf or storage space, add each new accession to the next vacant space on the shelf, and record the accession name and location number on a location file.
