Here is an example from the Beinekce Library's Peter Palmquist Cased Photographs Collection.

The collection level record is too large for a screenshot and is a great example of extremely thorough descriptions of subjects, formats, processes, and context.
My second example is a VERY basic collection level record from my undergrad alma mater.

No descriptive infomation is provided beyond the title and the fact that these are photographs. This is unacceptable for a 16 box collection.
