Wednesday, April 11, 10:30 am
Presented by Krista Barry who has worked as Curatorial Assistant at the Wright Museum of Art at Beloit College, and Collections Manager the Beloit Historical
Society, where she currently serves as a member of their collections committee.
One of the most essential, and yet invasive, procedures performed on a museum object is applying a label. Numbering systems link an object to its record using
a unique identifier, or catalog number, making those numbers fundamental for effective collections management. This session will introduce participants to the proper supplies and methods for marking a range of materials commonly found in museum collections.
Participants will learn to identify safe and effective marking materials and techniques. They will also receive handouts for future reference, including a list of recommended supplies.
