> Official archives can mean a few boxes in the basement

This is very apt description. In this case it sounds like they have 91 boxes (78 Document boxes, 13 cartons of research files)

Not sure if they are in the basement but the record locations says: Aisle 9A -- Shelves 1-4

> and submissions aren't catalogued as thoroughly as you might be expecting

That is also true in this case. By the sounds of it Frank Herbert boxed up all his papers and donated them to the library. Later on family donated more as they found more.

There is a very high level inventory, such as “Container 7: Maps” Maps of what? Doesn’t say. How many? Doesn’t say. One has to go there physically to find out.

There is also a “Flat file drawer tbd” containing a “Dune Atlas”. Which to be honest sounds very intriquing. And a “Small document box A-204” with “personal items” which is decidedly less so.
