Unless someone knows of another name that is correct, recognizable and
in
use by cheese makers, I would recommend getting a copy of pages 3 - 20
of
the First Edition of Nomenclature and learn how to add terms that
are
appropriately in the construct of the system. (If there is not another
name
forthcoming from Museum-Lers or someone in the cheese industry, chances
are
it will turn out to be: LADDER, CHEESE.)
If you can't find a copy, let me know and I'll copy and mail them to
you.

I have a model of a cart horse with a straw hat. I always assumed that
it
was for flies, like today's "fly bonnets," which are mesh masks that
protect
the ears and face. Show hunter/jumpers have the hair on their ears
(natural
insect protection) trimmed, and the little ear covers help keep the
bugs out
(in addition to hiding cotton).

Wow. I've never heard of or seen hats for horses. Learn something new
every
day.
Does anyone have a picture of this? A poster on the website thread
below
mentioned that he had seen pictures of hats on civilian horses.
I've never seen or heard of them in a historical context.
Today, we sometimes use "fly fringe" which have fabric covers for the
horse's ears and a crocheted fringe that hangs down over his forelock
to
keep away the flies. This only works so well as some flies will bite
through
anything, no matter how much flyspray you put on it. The show types use
them
to hide the cotton that they stuff into their horse's ears to muffle
the
crowd noises.
I think I would go completely overboard with a straw horsey hat tho'.
I would be too tempted to make it match my straw bonnet by putting
flowers
and pretty ribbons on it.

Hi Kim,
Sounds like a great collection. It would be best to start assessing the
condition of the boxes..any that are in poor condition could be discarded.
If you have more than one of the same, keep at least one example. Hat boxes
are very collectible so perhaps the remainders could be sold? Or given away to
another non-profit organization that may have a use for them? Or re-used for
some other purpose?
It can be difficult to make decisions such as these at the get go, and may
just be something that needs to be researched over time, as you are still
becoming familiar the collection. The initial weeding out of the boxes should be
fine. Do the best you can to store and preserve the remaining boxes.

Hello all,
We just received a fairly large collection of mid-20th
century ladies hats.
Many of these hats came to us in hat boxes, but the
problem is that 2-4 hats are inside each box. Most of
them cannot be authenticated as "THE" hat that came in
the box, because labels don't match, etc.
I am planning to remove the hats from the boxes and
place them in acid-free storage boxes. But what do I
do with the hat boxes themselves?
What do you do at your museum? Do you accession the
empty boxes separately and take up double the storage
space? Or do you pitch them? Does it matter if you
can match the hat up with the correct box or not? Do
"orphan" boxes matter?
There are quite a few boxes in this particular
collection -- so we aren't talking about one or two.
Storage space -- like always, everywhere -- is
limited.
I also have this question about shoes that are or
aren't in their original boxes. Do the boxes
themselves matter? Usually if the boxes are
identified with a local department store, I have been
keeping them and accessioning them as their own
artifacts (that goes for shoes, hats, clothing boxes,
etc). But if the box comes from a major department
store that could have been purchased in town or across
the country, do I want to keep that?
Incidentally, I can't ask the donor. She is suffering
from dementia in a nursing home, and the hats were
brought in by her son, who has no more information to
provide...
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

From glancing over these, I guess it would be how you set it up and use it.
Our FilemakerPro system we have set up does everything that Robert Baron
classifies as collection management. We have all object tracking items in
place, condition tracking, exhibit / loan tracking, etc.
One thing I like about using FilemakerPro is that we can change it and adapt
it to our needs, which is much more flexible than a package system.

I'm glad you brought this up....for me a reality check on a similar
situation with shoes and shoe boxes a few months ago, when some people
thought I was daft to keep shoeboxes.
In our historic house situation, linked to a local history museum, any
packaging with local business print on it is likely to be used in an exhibit
someday, so would be kept, unless duplicate. Most of the shoeboxes weren't
local, however, so I decided that if we had a pair of shoes that matched,
we'd keep them; if not we'd keep only one box of each shoe manufacturer not
already represented in the boxes with shoes. As for storage, it seemed to
me that if the shoes were fully protected from touching the acidic
cardboard, that it would be o.k. to store them in their original boxes, at
least until we had more storage space. -Though hats probably should be
stored separately, as you pointed out, unless the hatbox in question has a
really good surface coating covering up the acidic cardboard.
I guess the matter of keeping or not keeping depends on the likelihood of
someday having an exhibit enhanced by having kept them. (Or, in the case of
local businesses, any research value.) I tend to favor developing a good
product package collection, because things like that get pitched by almost
everyone at home, and in only a few years, depending on how fast packaging
styles change, people are really tickled to see them in an exhibit or in an
historic house, and they can really help 'bring alive' an exhibit. In an
historic house, those mundane things make the house more interesting and
more 'real' to visitors.
As you point out, though, there is a limit to storage, so as long as you
have enough to grace an exhibit keeping the rest is likely to be redundant.
At that point, though, visual appeal may enter the discussion, and if you
have a "Wow isn't that a great hatbox" I guess you might want to keep it. So
many things to think about!

Subject: hat boxes -- to keep or not to keep?
Hello all,
We just received a fairly large collection of mid-20th
century ladies hats.
Many of these hats came to us in hat boxes, but the
problem is that 2-4 hats are inside each box. Most of
them cannot be authenticated as "THE" hat that came in
the box, because labels don't match, etc.
I am planning to remove the hats from the boxes and
place them in acid-free storage boxes. But what do I
do with the hat boxes themselves?
What do you do at your museum? Do you accession the
empty boxes separately and take up double the storage
space? Or do you pitch them? Does it matter if you
can match the hat up with the correct box or not? Do
"orphan" boxes matter?
There are quite a few boxes in this particular
collection -- so we aren't talking about one or two.
Storage space -- like always, everywhere -- is
limited.
I also have this question about shoes that are or
aren't in their original boxes. Do the boxes
themselves matter? Usually if the boxes are
identified with a local department store, I have been
keeping them and accessioning them as their own
artifacts (that goes for shoes, hats, clothing boxes,
etc). But if the box comes from a major department
store that could have been purchased in town or across
the country, do I want to keep that?
Incidentally, I can't ask the donor. She is suffering
from dementia in a nursing home, and the hats were
brought in by her son, who has no more information to
provide...
Any advice is greatly appreciated.

David,
Thanks for your take on this. My additional question is, if the books
acquired the mold some years prior, and have been in humidity below 55% for
several years, will the spores still be active? In other words, will
keeping the humidity down kind of put 'on hold' mold growth, or will it
continue progressing?

Subject: Re: mold inside books
Hi Kendra,
You should not have your volunteers continue to catalog these books
without dealing with the mold first. Certain molds are dangerous to
breathe in and can cause severe allergic reactions as well.
Freezing will not kill the mold. It will only prevent its spread and
postpone your problem to a later date.
We use sunlight to kill mold. If it is possible in your climate, place
the open books in the sun for several hours. Once the spores are killed
they need to be brushed and vacuumed off. Proper precautions should be
taken during this process such as wearing clothing protection and a
particle mask. Your vacuum should be equipped with a HEPA filter.
No matter how well you clean these books there will still be some spores
left behind. Mold forms because of high humidity conditions. If the
books are then placed back into the same storage conditions with high
humidity, the mold can reoccur. You may have to use a dehumidifer to
reduce the relative humidity to 55% or below. Good air circulation also
reduces the chance for mold growth.
If your bookcases are against an exterior wall, rising damp in the wall
may be exacerbating your problem. If it is possible to pull the bookcases
away from the wall slightly, relocate them to an interior wall or
ventilate them somehow, this should help reduce the humidity. Spreading
the books out so that they are not so tightly packed together can help as
well.
Sincerely,
David Ryan

Who is responsible for documenting the programming and for keeping the
documentation up to date? What happens when that person no longer works
for the museum? How relational is the database and do fields "self
populate"? Are you able to set up sophisticated task management systems?
How do you handle various styled accession numbers? What about managing
all the data related to use of an object? What happens when users decide
they need a new function and how is that new function implemented? Who
supports the system when it decides not to talk to the rest of your
software? Does it contain an unalterable audit log? vocabulary
constraints? Hierarchical access (i.e. the registrar, curator, and
volunteer can view, add, or change only certain types of data and this is
security controlled? Can you link objects to processes or places...like
scheduling them for loans or conservation or link them to storage or
exhibit locations? Can you maintain an unalterable history of where the
object's been...
I can think of a lot of things I might want to do and I'll be darned if I
have the energy or luxury of time and money to spend programming FileMaker
to track it all.
There are a lot of wheels that don't need to be reinvented. Homegrown
systems reinvent what other programmers dedicate 8hrs/day to doing.
Flexible....maybe....documented...really?

p.s. Robert wrote those essays nearly 10 years ago. Software's changed a

change any programming in it in the past few years is because we upgraded
the software. So it depends on if you are willing to do that. Otherwise,

Once upon a time, this would have been a sales pitch. I used to run
AltaMira PRess and they used to distribute PastPerfect Museum Software.
But I don't work for AltaMira anymore and they don't distribute
PastPerfect anymore.
PastPerfect was designed to avoid just the kind of discussions you are
having on the list. It's supposed to be cheap enough and simple enough
for small museums to not have to worry about reinventing the wheel. In
addition, it was designed in consultation with lots of input from many
museums, so most of its fields represent "best practices" in
registration. Furthermore, by establishing a common set of fields,
registrars can move from one institution to another, training can take
place between institutions, and the databases can be compared between
museums. Last I knew, about 3500 museums were using PP.
As they've moved to later versions of PP, the cost has gone up and the
complexity has gone up as well(the program does more). But I'm still
convinced, as I was in 1998 when we first distributed it, that it's a
very good idea for smaller institutions, for the reasons listed above.
I would check it out rather than, as someone else said, reinvent a
fairly complicated wheel.

Hello! I have a mystery object. I am guessing it's an agricultural item.
The sides are sturdy oak, with thick dowels alternating sides and height
placement on the sides. Interwoven between the dowels are thin strips of
wood, creating an undulating surface that is broken on the top by two of
the dowels. I have two pictures I can send to anyone who wants them. Any
thoughts on it's use? It seems like the dowels would hamper the use of
the object.
Thanks for your suggestions.

Hi Phyllis,
This could be a typical case for (the beloved) barcode on tickets. Sell
diverse tickets (for diverse groups), control the tickets at the entries
of each section, then analyse the result - and you will were people
went. Some intelligent software can also find out how lonmg they stayed.
So it's not only counting visitors - learn to know your visitors.

We were discussing at our staff meeting how to better count our
visitors. We wondered what other facilities do.
We have visitors to our museum, planetarium, and observatory;
organizations who use our banquet/conference hall: school groups;
and those who visit a combination thereof.
We wondered how other facilities count these people. If they come to
the museum and then go
to the planetarium are they counted 2 times? If it is a school group
and they do the museum educational program, planetarium and observatory
is each child, teacher, parent volunteer counted 3 times? If they are
coming to see a planetarium progam and spend 1 minute in the museum are
they counted 2 times. If they come in, leave and return are they
counted 2 times?
Or as they enter the building is that the only time they are counted.
Does anyone know of a research project on this?
Thanks for your help,

Hi Everyone,
By the way, we use filemaker pro also in our conservation work. It is
extermely versitle and user and client friendly. I love the fact that
you can import image files into the databases and also print out the
database and reports in PDF format too.
We use fileMaker pro for everything from a projects database to object
collections surveys to architectural conservation surveys and
assessments to databases for historic paint and finish samples and
other scientific sample analysis, etc.
And its capability to work cross-platform on Macs and PC's is
definitely a major plus for us and our clients.
Cheers!

Subject: Re: mold inside books
Dear Lucy,
It is my understanding that mold spores are like the "seeds" of regular
plants. They will not grow unless water is present- in this case high
humidity. Also, mold spores are ubiquitous in our environment which
explains why it forms on almost everything within 48 hours in very high
humidity situations. So, keeping the humidity below 55% will put mold
growth "on hold" and our best defense against mold growth is good air
circulation and lower humidity.
Sincerely,
David Ryan

The new Canadian War Museum has a "green roof," although I couldn't find
out much about it from their website--you may want to check it out

I haven't been following this thread, I figured David Harvey would speak to it.
You should talk to a book conservator if these books are of any value.
I would absolutely NOT NOT NOT put them in the sun. The sun will
yellow and embrittle the paper, fade the ink, affect the binding
materials, etc.
Bag and freeze, yes.
Vacuum with HEPA or brush off outside or in a well-ventilated area, yes.
The absolute best thing is to isolate these things from the rest of
your collection so that the spores don't spread. And to control
moisture and humidity to prevent their growth.
Unless these things are really irreplaceable, they pose a great risk
to other items in your collection and it may just be better to just
get rid of them.
If these are valuable or their information irreplaceable, talk to a
book conservator. Possibly control the mold for now and scan them and
then pitch the originals.
Check out the Northeast Document Conservation Center's or SOLINET's
Web site for help on mold & mildew on books.

Hi Amy,
This is directly copied from the site you cited:
Collections may also be dried outside in the sun (sunlight or ultraviolet
light can cause some molds to become dormant). The outside humidity must
be low. Be aware that the sun causes fading and other damage to paper-
based collections, however. Materials should be monitored closely and left
outside no more than an hour or so.
So caution must be used with sunlight- but it has always worked for us.

Please excuse the cross-posting.
The Electronic Resources Committee of the Association for Living History,
Farm and Agricultural Museums requests proposals for the redesign of its
website, www.alhfam.org. We want to better organize its structure and
content and to add to its functionality, and we wish to allow users to
easily navigate the site. We would also like to create a members-only
section that would contain restricted content, such as the Replica Resourc=
e
list, or selected Bulletin content (these are examples only--no decision
has been made as to exactly what would be in the members-only section). A
complete RFP is available by contacting me off-list; I will e-mail the
complete document, which includes the user, design and technical
requirements.
Please respond by March 1, 2006, with your proposal. After reviewing the
proposals, we will select our development firm by March 24, 2006, and want
to have the entire project completed and live in the 3rd quarter of 2006.
Your proposal should include any ideas for implementation, a rough cost
estimate, a project development timeline, descriptions or URLs of similar
projects with which you have been involved, client references, and a
summary of your process for developing projects like ours. If you have
questions you would like answered before developing the proposal, please
contact me off-list.

Green roofs, wind power, solar power, geothermal heat pumps, etc.
If your institution is undergoing this change or you know of an other

Subject: Re: visitor counts
I have worked with many museums and most cannot afford the
barcode/scanning technology. Double counting cannot be avoided unless you
get the name of each visitor. Therefore a walk-up customer who chooses to
come again next week is counted twice.
Same day sales should be fine given you reference the same sale record in
your admission system. If you are not using an admission system double
counting may occur.
If you consider the barcode route you want to use a computerized ticketing
system with access control. You then can scan tickets whenever and
wherever you want. You can then do in depth tracking and visitation
analysis. This is rare to nonexistent in museums. The concept of tracking
a customer by constantly asking for a ticket can be seen as intrusive.
Some museums have considered RFID. The problem is you need an active RFID
tag and these cost around $10 a tag. Not a disposable technology and it's
akin to placing dog collar on visitors. I would say most museums are not
about creating this kind of environment. A passive RFID would require you
to issue wristband which may work. However, must cultural visitors may
view the wristband as something you get at a theme park not a museum.

Hi,
Our air conditioner/humidifier unit has finally really, truly died and
we are in the process of looking for a replacement. Our storage room is
small and doesn't have a vapor barrier, so many of the larger companies
that make units for museums don't seem to have anything in our needed
size range. We're in discussions with Stulz Air Technology Systems, but
they don't usually build units for humidity as much as for cooling. I've
asked them for a list of clients so I can find out if there is a decent
level of satisfaction, but so far have not had luck getting such a list.
I have been assured they will meet our specifications, but I'd like more
than the word of a salesman!
Have any of you worked with this company?=20

Disclaimer: My experience comes from the school of hard knocks, and my

Management/Electronics firm.
If it were me, I'd call some of the larger HVAC manufacturers and ask to be
referred to someone who is familiar with museum applications. I'd call
Lennox, Trane, Carrier, etc. They can either hook you up with a
knowledgeable local contractor or someone from their main office. Do not
allow them to send you someone who designs systems for schools or hospitals
- totally different situation. Frankly, they need to understand that you're
not planning for human comfort. :-)

Hi,
Our air conditioner/humidifier unit has finally really, truly died and
we are in the process of looking for a replacement. Our storage room is
small and doesn't have a vapor barrier, so many of the larger companies
that make units for museums don't seem to have anything in our needed
size range. We're in discussions with Stulz Air Technology Systems, but
they don't usually build units for humidity as much as for cooling. I've
asked them for a list of clients so I can find out if there is a decent
level of satisfaction, but so far have not had luck getting such a list.
I have been assured they will meet our specifications, but I'd like more
than the word of a salesman!
Have any of you worked with this company?

True, but a hat isn't going to protect their noses or their eyes very
much judging by the size of the brim of the hat that I saw. It might
help shade their eyes a bit but even humans need a 3" brim on a hat
all the way around to get proper skin cancer protection.
These days, we use baby sunblock on horses or zinc oxide. There is
also horse sunblock spray but most people just use a fly sheet if they
have a horse with pink skin.

I am a librarian at a State University of New York (SUNY) community college=
,
and in downsizing our collection of bound periodicals, we have those listed
below that will soon be disposed of. We would prefer they find a useful
second home. If anyone knows of a good destination for them - I'm
listening! Please contact me directly via the information below.
CQ Researcher - 1991, 92, 93, 96 - 2000
Child Development (not bound) - Jan 2001 - Dec 2002
Haprers - 1985 - 2000
If there is a group working with someone to get things to MS and LA
libraries that would also be great.
Thanks,

Just for information sake, the Hagley Museum has a patent model of a horse
hat with a built in compartment for putting ice to keep the critter cool. It is
green cloth with tin compartment. Rob Howard (retired curator)
