Jodi, If the materials in the boxes you're describing have numbered folders, you can always designate a "file" for the run of folders, from Folder 1 to the last folder number in the box: <c0x level="file"> <container type="Box">1</container> <container type="Folder">1-50</container> [unittitle, unitdate, scopecontent, etc.--the scope note applies to the contents of all 50 folders] This also works well if there are two or three groups of folders with separate descriptions in the box--you have a <c0x level="file"> for Folders 1-20, 21-30, 31-50, for instance, with the same box number each time. I think "file" is a legitimate designation for either a folder or a group of folders. This way, your descriptions are never bounded by the physical container (box or otherwise).
