historical archive, bibliographic reference
Hi all
this is in a footnote citing the source of information (in this case a historical archive). It is referred to here:
Ocorrências numerosas em Arquivo Histórico da X, Série D, banco 8, livros 3 e 4
could this be 'stacks' or something similar? Or could it be a reference to a database? All help appreciated.

bank or bankers box
Two options spring to mind depending on how the archives are being stored:
1) On a shelf - use the term bank e.g. Series D, Bank 8, Books 3 & 4.
A synonym of shelf is bank and I have seen the term used in archival systems before.
2) In a cardboard box or similar - use the term bankers box.
A bankers box is a common term in offices for those large cardboard or similar storage boxes, themselves stored on shelves or stacked up on the floor.
See the links for reference.

Note from asker:
| Hi John - I think your answer is very likely the right one (bank rather than bankers box here), but I'm leaving the question open for a little while to see if that can be confirmed. Thanks for the input. |
