Following review by preservation staff, fragile material may be be routed for treatment. If treatment is deferred, the archivist should package material as well as possible to protect it from further damage. The folder and/or package should be labeled: “FRAGILE, HANDLE WITH CARE” or “RESTRICTED FRAGILE - Use requires curatorial approval.” If the package is housed in a box, the box should also be labeled with “CONTAINS FRAGILE MATERIALS.”
