| Definition: |
The horizontal distance measured from side to side of a specific media type. |
| Purpose: | Provides information about non-standard dimensions of a specific media type. |
| Relationship: | This element is dependent on Specific Media Type. Each media occurrence of the archival materials must have a specific media type specified to create Width. If Height, Width, or Depth is specified, Dimension cannot be used. |
| Guidance: |
Enter the width of the specific media type in inches. Enter fractions of an inch as a decimal fraction (.5 for half an inch, .33 for a third of an inch, etc.). Use Height, Width, and Depth to describe three-dimensional specific media types. Measure the width of the specific media types themselves and not the width of their containers. Be sure to check the Dimension Authority List for a suitable size before indicating a separate height, width, and depth. |
