Should this be captured?
Paper
- Holes in page -- YES (make sure the regular black or white capture bed is seen through the hole; if in book, place black or white paper underneath)
- Portions of paper missing -- YES (if part of an item with similar size pages, crop to that page size to maintain consistency)
- Otherwise blank page
- with smudge -- NO
- with inked fingerprint -- YES
- with ink transfer from adjacent page -- NO (unless adjacent page is missing)
- of pre-printed letterhead -- NO (unless pre-printed text/art is unique)
- with a single letter or number -- YES
- with arithmetic -- YES
- with hand written page number -- NO
- in plastic sleeve -- YES, and here's how
- Envelopes -- YES, in general; see section below for questions about those envelopes
Envelopes
- Fronts with address or other text -- YES
- Blank front -- NO
- Back with postal date stamp or postage cancellation -- YES
- Blank back -- NO
- Used as a piece of paper, with text or drawings -- YES
Bound Items

- "Blank" front or back cover -- YES
- Interleaved material (inserted between pages or clipped to a page) -- YES, and here's how
Newspaper Clippings
- Fronts -- YES
- Backs -- NO

Photos
- Backs with typed or pre-printed material -- NO
- Backs with handwritten material -- YES
No guideline yet?
Make one!
- Try to match the outcomes of current policies and procedures
- Look at similar anomaly rules, which set a precedence
- With extraneous markings on materials, consider whether they are unique or interesting enough to capture
- Document on this list
Or ask Jeremiah.
