I've recently begun working on catching up the catalog of artifacts and other inventory of the small museum for which I work, and one of the things that has come up that I do not have in my supplies, is the "stuff" you put on an artifact on which you write the accession number. There is also a clear coating that you put over this "base" that seals the ink. I not only don't know where to find this kind of thing, but I don't even know what it is called. Also, if anyone can suggest sources for this, (preferably online sources) as well as good archival pens with which to mark artifacts, I would appreciate it! ========================================================= Important Subscriber Information: The Museum-L FAQ file is located at http://www.finalchapter.com/museum-l-faq/ .
