We have three categories of collections:  permanent, exhibit, and 
teaching/education collections that are added to our database.  Permanent 
collections have no prefix, exhibit items which have an "E" prefix, and 
teaching collections which have a "TC" prefix.  Exhibit and teaching 
collections are items that we considered expendable and not terribly tragic 
if they end up broken or missing.  We collect items for the exhibit 
collection that we have duplicates of in the permanent collection which 
might be interesting to put on exhibit and become our first choice for 
institutions who wish to borrow items from us.
