Oops, and I
came up with other questions here. Do you use the volunteer’s birthdate,
or the date they started their servitude, as object date? Do you accession them
into the permanent collection, or consider them loans? And what, exactly, is
their object name, category and subcategory under Nomenclature?
Okay, I’ll
shut up now.

We found an collections inventory worksheet titled
"Tips for Cataloguing Volunteers". Now we are wondering how to
apply the accession numbers.

Perhaps a Sharpie laundry pen in the scalp area, just above the left ear? You may need to sedate the Volunteers as well to keep your lettering nice.
