MS207: Collections Management: Cataloging Your Collection

July 7 to Aug 1, 2014

Instructor: Peggy Schaller

Description:

Cataloging may not be the most exciting museum task, but it is among the most
important. Without a clear knowledge of your holdings, you can't protect, care
for, research or exhibit them. Without knowledge of an item's history, you can't
properly appreciate its value to your museum. Cataloging Your Collection covers
all details needed to catalog a collection. Procedures for handling, measuring
and describing all types of objects and materials are discussed in detail.
Participants receive sample forms and learn the best practices for numbering
artifacts, performing inventory and assessing the condition of objects.
Participants practice describing everyday objects and cataloging items from
their own collections or households.
