Meg - I *did* outlaw the big 24 inch-ers.  I lobbied to set a policy that we accept standard sized archive boxes exclusively.  The only exception I make is for items that won't fit - such as 15" x 25" signature books.  Too much historical value to turn them down.  But in that case, I set a weight limit of 45 pounds per box.  I don't even take check boxes.
