At Conner Prairie we use two numbering systems. One is for artifacts and is the year prefixed number. The second is a sequential numbering system starting at 4000 and prefixed with CPM(Conner Prairie Museum). Therefore 76.14 is an artifact while CPM.7614 is a reproduction. All artifacts and repros. are cataloged and tracked through our collections management system (Argus for Windows), they have individual document files (hard copies) including the same paperwork requirements(i.e. reciepts/Deeds of Gift, conservation info., research, etc.) Lana Newhart-Kellen Registrar Conner Prairie ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
