We don't include it in the label unless it's relevant to the item's use in some way, but our database/catalogue includes a 'material' field, so that information is documented.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Materials on exhibit label in history museums

For you all out there in history museums, do you include object materials on your exhibit labels? I feel like this is standard for art museums but I'm wondering what most history museums do. We have always included the material but I feel like it's unnecessary when it's just "leather" or "paper" over and over again. Thank you for your opinions!
