The clothbound slipcase houses two publications Archives I and its supplement Archives II. While Archives I is a purely non-verbal visual experience, chronologically showcasing detailed photos of Nomen Nescios collection with their corresponding product codes, the Archives II supplement works as a descriptive index reference for the main catalog Archives I.
