Broadsides: Marking Call Numbers
on Items & Folders

Year/Number Broadsides 
Western Americana (WA) Broadsides


Year/Number Broadsides
Marking items All broadsides are marked on the verso in the lower right corner.
Marking folders Large folio broadside folders and "pizza box" broadside folders are marked on the lower right corner of the front of the folder. The folded edge should be on the bottom. 

Small folio broadside folders are marked on the lower left corner of the front of the folder. The folded edge should be on the left.

Folder Images Year/Number Large Folio Broadside Folders (ca. 75 x ca. 105 cm. or 42 x 30")

Year/Number Small Folio Broadside Folders (ca. 75 x ca. 55 cm. or 30 x 21") 

Year/Number "Pizza Box" Broadside Folders (ca. 40 x ca. 55 cm. or 21 x 15") 

Year/Number "Legal Size" Broadside Folders (ca. 25 x ca. 37 cm.)

Notes Large and small folio broadsides are interfiled in the broadside cabinets; this explains why they use the same call number format. If two small folios are placed side-by-side in a drawer, they occupy approximately the same amount of space as does one large folio; this shelving arrangement explains why the folders for large folios are marked in a different place than those for small folios. 

Legal sized folders are stored in hollinger boxes.

Broadsides in the YCAL and YCGL collections use the same Year/Number call number format as broadsides in the general collection and are marked in exactly the same way. Remember to put the correct location codes in the Orbis records.
