Dear Craig,

let me articulate only a plain idea: what museums are needing are

1) an object-orientated view (positive data like material, style, measurements
etc.
2) an subject-orientated view (positive data on the historical role of the
objects for subjects like a herited watch, a glass ball used for sessions)
3) and a useful, present and future oriented interpretation of the collected
objects.

This make the difference between a collector and a museum.

Best regards
