<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">My feedback assumes Adrien is thinking of these volumes purely as containers and not as meaningful representations of the nature of what’s within them. So just
like there’s nothing inherently meaningful about calling something Box 1, there’s nothing inherently meaningful about calling a container “Volume 1-5 (1st series).” The latter is a silly label, but it’s just a label.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri",sans-serif">Renumbering the volumes with something less baroque would require, like, sharpie-ing over the existing numbers, which Jared Sparks would be very grumpy about because boy, aren’t those some handsome

<p class="MsoNormal">I've noticed that we often get in trouble when there's a conflation between archival/bibliographic description and collection control, particularly because those descriptors fundamentally serve different purposes and can even change over
time -- sometimes at cross purposes. So I would say that your best bet would be to think carefully about the purpose the volume number serves. When you say that these are in two series, is that a designation made by the publisher/author? Or is it just an organizing
principle imposed by past archivists? Because I think that there are much better ways of saying that volumes belong together than using volume numbers, and I also think that whenever possible it's best to keep inventory management simple and just number widgets
seriatim.<o:p></o:p></p>

<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">I’m in the process of retrospectively adding top containers to all of our 800,000+ archival objects. A large number of our collections are in volume format, housed on shelves as
is, not in boxes. I’m wondering how folks are handling these types of “containers” in AS.
<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Just for an example, the Jared Sparks papers consists of 10 individual volumes, which if these were boxes, of course would be Boxes 1-10. However, the material is a two part series,
each consisting of 5 volumes each and referred to on spines as volumes 1-5 (1<sup>st</sup> series) and another volumes 1-5 (2<sup>nd</sup> series). I’m disinclined to give them top containers Volumes 1-10 and I don’t want to have two Volume 1 Top Containers
in the same collection. Any advise on how to make this clear to users and manageable on the back end?<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto"> <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="mso-margin-top-alt:auto;mso-margin-bottom-alt:auto">Thanks in advance,
<o:p></o:p></p>
