Oh, man. I am the new curator at a museum
(remaining nameless) that has not had a museum professional in over ten years.
The records are a mess, no archival materials to speak of, and I (we) are
missing artifacts! I have a donor that would like his loan back, but I cannot
find almost any of his stuff. I have located some things that "could" be his,
but since no accession numbers were ever recorded on objects I don't know which
is really his. Advice on how to handle this and where to start?
A complete inventory is coming soon, but how to
handle these missing artifacts?
Much thanks,
Matthew
