We would like to be able to include it in reports and to display. It doesn't need to be searchable, although that would be helpful. Galen Charlton wrote:

We'd like to use it for boxed archival items if that's possible. They have a call number, but their actual physical location is based on the floor, row, bay, and shelf. Does that sound plausible?
Having a second call number field is indeed plausible, although since the 952$j is currently mapped to a field in the Koha item record that can only store a true/false value, not a location string, some tweaking of the MARC frameworks would be required in your case.
Besides being able to display the box location, do you need to be able to search on it or include it in reports?
