This version may differ from the printed version. National Archives and Records Administration Archives and Preservation Resources Technical Information Introduction to Housing Enclosures for Archival Records A primary preservation goal is to house all records appropriately based on their size, format, and composition. Housing enclosures provide physical support and protection as well as a buffer against adverse or fluctuating environmental conditions. Housings also provide a mechanism for organizing and maintaining records in intellectual units that can be easily and safely handled. Factors that are considered when designing housings include the optimum method of accessing, storing, and using the records; stability of all component housing materials; method of fabrication or assembly; and cost. Given the importance of housings in an archives preservation program, the National Archives has devoted a great deal of attention to developing specifications. The attached specifications for boxes, folders, and spacer boards describe the physical and chemical properties of the component materials, design features, and workmanship criteria against which the finished products are evaluated.

  • The FMU Regatta! Building a Cardboard Boat Is All About Trying to Meet
    The FMU Regatta! Building a cardboard boat is all about trying to meet "The Challenge": BUILD A PERSON-POWERED CARDBOARD BOAT THAT IS CAPABLE OF COMPLETING ONE TRIP AROUND THE 500-YARD COURSE ON DURANT POND. Along the way, you will enjoy encountering and dealing with many small details. But look ahead to the satisfaction of knowing you accomplished something that most people won't even try -- building a boat made of corrugated cardboard. First things first . start with some objective in mind. Maybe you want to build the fastest boat at the Regatta. Perhaps you are more interested in one of the Judges Awards for design or eye appeal. Maybe you want to win the Team Spirit Award. Perhaps you want to get on television or be the featured photo in the Student newspaper. Or just maybe you want to take home the Titanic Award for the most spectacular sinking. Next . start with a design idea, a vision of what you want your cardboard creation to look like. But consider this first -- it doesn't have to be a boat at all! It can be any design you like or want to try out. Some races have had replicas of jeeps, exotic cars, full-scale pickup trucks, school busses, fire trucks, and other vehicles. We've seen space shuttles, Elvis on his guitar, beds, foldout soft drink cans, personal computers (with a mouse that trailed in the water), a raft with a trailing shark fin, a floating outhouse, a taco, a bratwurst, a giant Tootsie Roll, Tessie the Loch Ness Monster, Deidra the Dragonfly, the Statue of Liberty hand (from "Planet of the Apes"), and so much more.
