Notes

Sometimes called a Hollinger Box. Document boxes are typically made from cardboard. They are often neutral gray and lined on the inside with white, acid-neutral paper. Boxes made from lignin-free cardboard are often tan and unlined. They may have a string, handle, or hole on one end to facilitate removal from a shelf. Document boxes made from high-quality materials suitable for long-term storage of archival materials are often called archives boxes.
