May 20, 1996

A couple of weeks ago there were quite a few postings regarding affixing
accession numbers to artifacts.  The Upper Midwest Conservation Association
(UMCA) in Minneapolis, Minnesota, has put together an Artifact Numbering Kit
that sells for $40.  The kit includes everything needed to properly number
your 3-D artifacts, textiles, etc....  It also comes in a handy plastic box
with tray separators.  If you would like more information on this kit, please
contact UMCA at (612) 870-3120.

Also, for all the listserv subscribers in Ohio and surrounding states, the
Ohio Association of Historical Societies and Museums (OAHSM) is sponsoring 4
Brass Tacks Workshops in 1996, titled "Ink to Artifact."  (locations:  Akron,
Xenia, Sandusky, Columbus)  The workshops feature extensive hands-on
activities and the registration fee is just $15 for OAHSM members and $20 for
non-OAHSM members.  For more information, contact me.

Best, Michelle
