  • If there is any doubt about proper treatment or housing, consult with the Preservation Coordination Librarian about what treatment or housing may be required.
  • Pull item(s) needing conservation or custom housing.
  • Flag the folder or original location of the item with a “Manuscript Item(s) Temporarily Removed” flag.
  • Complete Preservation Request slip.
    • Use one for each unit of storage (usually folder, sometimes box).
    • Use the final call number (not accession number or uncat number) on the slip.
    • If indicating that item can go from treatment to the shelf, provide barcode and label if the item is not already housed, barcoded, and labeled. 
  • Route item(s) and completed Treatment Request Slip(s) to the Preservation Assistant.
