This workshop will cover the basics and details of collections cataloging.
Why do we catalog artifacts? What are the considerations for different
types of objects? How do we describe an object? Sample forms to support
procedures will be provided. Best practices for numbering artifacts will be
presented, as well as how to perform inventories and condition reports.
Procedures for handling, measuring, and describing all types of objects and
materials will be discussed. An overview of the general care and storage of
specific objects will be discussed. Students will be asked to describe an
everyday object and practice cataloging several items from their own
collections or households.
