An excellent story in a recent Sports Illustrated, Slide Show is an inside look at the magazine's catalogers at work. You can learn many things from the notes and codes found on the 35mm slide mount. Similiarly it can be good to think of this for other collections as well.
In some cases before upgrading temporary storage boxes to final quality archival boxes care may be taken to preserve the record of these temp box markings especially so if the labeling was made by the creator and is best evidence of original order. Quick reference photos of the old boxes can be saved for the archivists accession file during final processing.
