Audiovisual media: Store audio and video cassettes in their original cases, within archival storage boxes. Tapes without original cases should be put in archival replacement cases. Store video cassettes vertically. If funds are available, create a use copy for patrons and restrict the original recording from use.

Digital media: Leave digital media such as floppy disks, USB drives, CDs, and DVDs with the materials they arrived with whenever possible. If they must be separated, use a Related Materials Note in ArchivesSpace to specify their related file(s). If they arrive already separate from paper files, store them vertically in media boxes or in folders within document cases. Store memory cards and USBs in small archival envelopes within document cases.

Framed art: Consult the curator on whether the frame is an integral part of the work; keep or discard the frame as directed. Ideally, framed art is stored hung vertically on art storage panels. If these are not available, store framed and unframed art flat in a box. If no box is large enough, create a folder or wrapper for it to block light and dust from settling on it.

Framed certificates and diplomas: Diplomas in soft-sided presentation carriers may be left intact. As a general rule, remove hard frames from certificates and diplomas, discarding the frames, matting, and glass unless they are wanted for exhibition purposes. Store letter and legal sized items upright in folders. Larger items are stored in separate flat boxes.

Maps/blueprints: Store flat in oversize folders, either in a flat box or in metal flat files. If they are folded and filed with other archival documents in boxes, consult the curator about humidification and flattening for proper flat storage.

Photographs: For most collections, do not remove photograph prints or negatives from their files. Place them in photograph or negative sleeves if they are of sufficient research value. Photographs that are staining or offsetting onto nearby papers should be sandwiched between sheets of acid-free paper. Collections that contain photographs of high research value and anticipated high volume of requests can be handled differently. In these cases the photographs can constitute a series. Each photograph (or group of photos) is sleeved and given a sequential photograph number (or number range) for citation purposes. Only images created from photographic processes (prints, negatives, slides) are given numbers. Printouts, collages, and photocopied prints are handled only at the folder level and do not receive photo numbers.

Scrapbooks: As a general rule, do not dismantle scrapbooks or photograph albums. Store them in flat boxes. Buffered paper or tissue can be used to interleave to prevent offsetting. Dismantling the album may be required if it can't be handled in its current condition, or if the contents are of great value. In these cases, copy, photograph, or scan the intact pages before dismantling, then folder the pages or items and box them.
