Scope note
Assemblies of items that the creator intended to be kept or seen together, cuch as a tea set, a desk set, or a pair of terrestrial and celestial globes. A set differs from a collection in that it is typically smaller and it was intended by the creator to be grouped together. It is useful to catalog the set as a whole when the items in the set will not be cataloged separately or when there are characteristics of the whole set that may not be apparent in the individual records for the parts.
