Subclass of:

• frbroo:F4 Manifestation Singleton

Scope note:

This class comprises unique combinations of instances of E18 Physical Thing that are bound together, or otherwise physically united, for the sake of preservation, and are communicated to library users as single, indivisible units. The individual components of a given instance of Z9 Storage Unit are generally instances of F4 Manifestation Singleton and/or F5 Item, but the binding itself that holds them together can be a valuable piece of cultural heritage that is worth describing for its own sake. Z9 Storage Unit makes it possible to account indifferently for the description of the various materials (printed or manuscript or of any other type) that make up a holding, and of the binding (or any other type of device, e.g. a box, a casket, etc.) that was produced for that holding, if needed.

Examples:

The physical storage unit held by the BnF and containing under one binding exemplars of Vol. 307, No. 1 (January 2011) through Vol. 308, No. 5 (December 2011) of the periodical entitled ‘The Atlantic Monthly’ (ISSN ‘1072-7825’)

The physical storage unit held by the BnF and containing, under one binding with the arms of Madame de Pompadour, exemplars of volumes 3 and 4 (1674) of the periodical entitled ‘Le Mercure galant’

The physical storage unit held by the BnF and containing, in one box, printed exemplars of volumes 1 to 6 (1930-33) of the periodical entitled ‘Le Surréalisme au service de la révolution’, together with holograph manuscripts by André Breton, Louis Aragon, Salvador Dalí, René Char, Max Ernst, and others (both the box and the individual bindings were created by bookbinder and craftsman Renaud Vernier in 2006)
