Collection Items
We enter our Demonstration Collection props into our
tracking software using
the same numbering system that we use for our
permanent collections, but
designating the collection as Demonstration.
This collection is composed of
items that are either reproductions or
duplicates easily replaced, or
sufficiently durable (like a railroad spike)
that significant damage is
unlikely. Because these items are Museum
property, we track them in our
system just like other artifacts.
If
you need to have a mark physically on the artifact, a simple letter
prefix to
the registration number, like E for Education, or D for
Demonstration, should
suffice. We mark solid objects with an archival ink
or painted number
over a contrasting acrylic paint stripe sealed with clear
fingernail
polish. For textile artifacts we use archival ink on a strip of
cotton
tape attached to the item with a couple of basting stitches (this is
lap work
that some of our older female volunteers really enjoy doing).

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Marking Education Collection
Items
Hi,
I'm just wondering what everyone else does to mark
Education Collection
items. We have everything from uniforms to mess
kits to patches that need
to
be marked. I don't want to spend much
time on marking but at the same time
can't really come up with good ways that
are quick and different from the
ways we mark our Permanent Collection
items.
Thanks,
Lisa Foster
