Charlene,
Sounds perfectly reasonable to me. I've worked several projects before where a group of us were working with hundreds of boxes, reviewing the boxes, scanning and indexing the boxes, and then staging them to go back to storage. We set up different areas in the room with signs to keep track of them so we didn't miss a box or do a box twice (e.g., To Review, To Scan, To Index, To Return to Storage). It was a simple plan but worked very well for us. I've found though that if you leave them too long to work on other projects, it's really hard to get back to finish the boxes. Then they become just a big stack of boxes in the corner that everyone ignores.

Subject: Office as processing work space
Has anyone here used their office a the processing room? Has anyone's processing workflow consisted of several record boxes full of documents that sit in their office/processing room for several weeks as they process them (between more immediate priorities)? The current collection I am processing has several series intertwined, including record retention materials, so I feel I need to have all The boxes pulled while I work with them. Maybe I am overdoing it, and could work on 1-2 boxes at one time?
I realize there is a whole other component to this of project management and processing workflows, but I wanted to focus this post on the " where" and "how many boxes at one time" for now.
Looking forward to hearing about other folks' processing work styles. Thank you!
