Mountaineers Library Temporary Storage
- Lowell Skoog
- Sheila Mitchell
This is an inventory of materials stored in boxes during reorganization of the Mountaineers Program Center Library at Magnuson Park in Seattle.
The Indexed column indicates whether all books in the designated box have been tagged in our catalog to indicate which box they're in.
The Subjects ID'd column indicates whether all books in the designated box have been categorized (by Geography, Activity, Focus, etc).
The Cherry Picked column indicates that books we've decided to retain have been removed from the designated box and moved to either the Summit Room (SR) or Archives Room (AR).
Box IDs, subject categories, and storage locations are recorded in our working copy of the Mountaineers Library Catalog.
Based on a hasty inventory on April 3, 2025, I’m wondering if some box numbers have been applied to more than one box. (LSkoog)
Most of the boxes used for temporary storage have dimensions of 10x12x15 inches. For these boxes, we have found that unpacking expands the required space by a factor of 3 to 2. In other words, books that take up two shelves in boxes typically will require three shelves when unpacked.
