Ah, here we are:

"The call number reflects the fact that the books are housed in archives as well as their major format heading... then a holding number followed by any other pertinent information. The classification scheme follows below.
CLASSIFICATION
1. Authorized Textbooks, K - 12
- AT for archived authorized textbooks
- Subject (see altered list Appendix A)
- Holding number
- Volume number, year
- Copy number"

That was going to keep me awake tonight if I hadn't found it!!!

"Users should also consult a separate 111 LC card index that contains cards only for the entries that are still in National Archives holdings; this index is arranged numerically by holding number."

Peer comment(s):

agree Magdalena Talaban : My Collins defines "holdings" as "the books or paintings that are kept in a museum, library or art gallery". So I guess you can use this, maybe in the plural.
