At that time, I mentioned some alternative strategies for special situations, such as considerations of working space, collection size, etc. Pre-made boxes may be the way to go here. They\u2019re generally non-adhesive, and excellent if you have a large collection that needs help, but can\u2019t be worked on right away, for pieces going to off-site storage, or if you\u2019re in a situation where box building space is at a premium, such as many of our work from home setups (I\u2019m currently working at my kitchen table, which is&nbsp;definitely a&nbsp;squeeze sometimes!)&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">There are multiple ways to obtain pre-made enclosures:&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li>Many commercial binderies offer custom economy boxing. Our Lab uses HF Group (http:\/\/www.hfgroup.com\/) when needed. Their work is excellent, and their enclosures can be created from sent measurements. This is wonderful for housing items in our collection that require storage, but we feel are too fragile to be shipped.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><li>Most major conservation suppliers, such as Talas (<a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.talasonline.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/www.talasonline.com\/<\/a>) and Gaylord (<a href=\"https:\/\/www.gaylord.com\/c\/Conservation-Supplies\">https:\/\/www.gaylord.com\/c\/Conservation-Supplies<\/a>) offer archival boxes in common sizes.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">A pre-made enclosure can also be a great option for very small items, to keep them from becoming lost on the shelf.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Under normal circumstances, a box created in the Lab for a small piece would be lined with foam to keep it from moving around in the larger cavity, but when the pandemic hit, we thought it might be a good idea to find ways to do this that didn\u2019t require foam, which might be expensive or difficult to source or store.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-group is-layout-flow wp-block-group-is-layout-flow\"><div class=\"wp-block-group__inner-container\"><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">Enter the Kyle Insert. Developed by Kyle Olmon, it is an answer to the ongoing question of new ways to store smaller items that will keep them safe and prevent them from getting lost. It works well for things like artist books, which are often incredibly small. It\u2019s also a time saver in lieu of foams. I don\u2019t know about you, but cutting foam is not my favorite thing. An alternative is always welcome when it is appropriate, and we (and the books!) can always benefit from having multiple ways to solve problems.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Written instructions from Kyle Olmon are available on-line at\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/kyleolmon.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/kyle_insert_v2_instructions.pdf\">https:\/\/kyleolmon.files.wordpress.com\/2016\/05\/kyle_insert_v2_instructions.pdf<\/a> .  I found that the insert made more sense\u00a0to me\u00a0when I had a visual representation. It\u2019s a surprisingly simple structure but may not seem that way on paper.\u00a0\u00a0In light of\u00a0that, I did something a little different and put together a video of my assembly efforts, interspersed with instructions and diagrams from Kyle Olmon throughout.\u00a0Hopefully the video combined with Mr. Olmon&#8217;s excellent instructions will help you get started with this form!\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\"><figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mailuc-my.sharepoint.com\/:v:\/g\/personal\/prochah_ucmail_uc_edu\/Ec3zHrG3NClHlvMsKDruYyMBTzj-3YmnJeex1-elL98XVw?e=hM1ozt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"472\" height=\"337\" src=\"https:\/\/libapps.libraries.uc.edu\/thepreservationlab\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/11\/image.png\" alt=\"An enclosure with the Kyle Insert.
