Do you need a storage solution for your indie tarot decks, photos, 35mm slides, cassette mixed tapes, or small objects? In celebration of #PreservationWeek, the MIT Libraries' Wunsch Conservation Lab staff and collaborators present 'Doc Box Systems: Bins and Pockets.' The schematics to make these innovative container systems are freely downloadable as accessible PDF, TIFF, and PNG. These modular pockets and bins fit into the flip-top document boxes and Paige ‘miracle 15’ boxes traditionally used for flat legal and letter-sized file folders.

Exhibition opening today, May 1, 2026!: https://nbss.edu/news-events/events/2026-exhibition/
If you’re in the Boston area today, May 1st, please head to the North Bennet Street School for their opening exhibition, Disciplines Across Decades. The show features a piece by our conservation associate, Ariana Rutledge Begin, whose artist’s piece was inspired by these adhesive-free containers.
Disciplines Across Decades shines a light on the origins of our nine career training programs and how our students are trained today. The exhibition features the best work of our student and graduate community, their connections to techniques used at the start of their programs, a timeline of NBSS history, and artifacts from each program's early years. Duration: Friday, May 1 – Friday, July 3, 2026. Hours: Monday – Friday, 9:00 am – 5:00 pm; Saturdays, 10:00 am – 2:00 pm.
