You may want to take this online course on numbering objects sometime,
next class is in February but it is offered periodically by the Northern
States Conservation Center
http://museumclasses.org/training/trol_classes_ms208.html . 

Their collections labelling kit is also useful
http://www.collectioncare.org/tas/tasn.html (you get it as part of the
class or can order it separately).

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Marking Object Numbers

I am wondering what the best practice way to mark bone and horn natural
history objects is.  Any references to best practice standards for
marking objects would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks.
