Efficient description - smith-special-collections/sc-documentation GitHub Wiki

Whenever describing multiple folders or boxes with a single archival object, be sure to include an extent statement, such as:

17 folders

In each of these cases, all relevant top containers should be assigned. If an archival object refers to a part of a top container, and there are child containers identified, list those as a range. For example:

Top Container: Box 1: Series 1 Child Type: Folder Child Indicator: 1-17

Note there is no space between the numbers and the dash.

Example:

Top Container: Box 1: Series 1 Child Type: Folder Child Indicator: 14-17, 19
