Hi Mary, We use number of artifacts accessioned and cataloged, number of artifacts added to the database and number of artifacts borrowed that are condition reported and photographed. We also count number of artifacts loaned out that have been condition reported and photographed and number of research requests accommodated that utilize the collection. You could also count the number of artifacts that have been processed during installation and deinstallation of exhibits. Hope this helps.
