Re: Thoughts on Open Storage systems

You can also search for the synonym subject term "visible storage."  Doing so will come up with various resources such as:
 
Paul C. Thistle
 
1997 Visible Storage for the Small Museum. In Simon Knell ed. Care of Collections. Leicester Readers in Museum Studies. (London & New York: Routledge, 1994 & 1997), pp. 187-196 [Reprint of 1990 Curator 33(1):49-62 article with editorial comment "essential reading for anyone considering the visible storage option."]. Chapter 22 beginning at page 207: http://books.google.com/books?id=-s6awQjJQU4C&pg=PA207&dq=Paul+C.+Thistle&as_brr=3&rview=1#v=onepage&q=Paul%20C.%20Thistle&f=false .
 
This article is based on a reveiw of pros & cons.

However I’d like to add an additional note of caution, since you mention this is a silver-plated trophy, not solid. The amount of silver on plated wares varies tremendously based on how much was initially applied and how much has worn/been polished away over the years. The last thing you want is to polish away the silver layer and expose the base metal below. So take a good look before you start to see if the silver is already worn away in any areas and in general go very lightly with the carbonate.

> I would like to reinforce Kathy's warning. Plated objects have a LIMITED number of polishings that are possible over their lifetimes. Once the silver is worn away, which usually occurs unevenly, exposing patches of the base metal, the object is essentially ruined, unless re-plating can be considered ethically acceptable. So, they are ideal candidates for a protective coating application after careful polishing. This could last 50-100 years, depending upon the ambient atmospheric conditions, and could eliminate the need for a dozen or more polishings. Instructions for coating metals are available on the web, or a it can be referred to a conservator for professional application.

I have been told these frames belong to artwork or prints in our collection, but which frame belongs to which piece has been lost. My first instinct is to get rid of them, but I do know some artists made frames for their work and frames can be quite valuable, I don't think these frames fall into this category. So, I would like to know what other institutions have done with plain run-of-the-mill frames, whether the artwork is still framed in them or not. Do you keep the works framed, in which the materials are more than likely acidic, or remove the work and dispose of the frames deemed insignificant.

The series has a dual focus: four of the webinars will help participants learn how to conduct outreach to the media, the public, and funders on behalf of collections; and two webinars will help participants derive maximum benefit from the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf. Using the content of the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, forums, and workshops, these highly interactive webinars will connect participants with experts and colleagues to discuss issues of common concern. These free webinars are designed for staff of museums, libraries, and archives who have been part of this network and want to reconnect, and for those who have not previously been involved but are eager to participate. Participants may sign up for the entire series or select only the sessions of most interest, and are encouraged to organize groups in their institutions or communities to participate in the webinar, then work together to put what they have learned in action. The series is being offered in association with Learning Times (http://www.learningtimes.com/), and will be archived and available online for those who cannot participate at the scheduled time. The schedule for the webinars is as follows (you must register in advance at http://learningtimesevents.org/c2c): Thursday, October 28, 2010 The series is launched with a Double Feature! 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. EST Telling the Story of Your Collections to the Press ”Presenter: Anne Edgar, Founder and Principal, Anne Edgar Associates, New York ”Commentator: Judith H. Dobrzynski, Freelance Arts Writer, New York Do you feel that your collection is rich in stories, but no one is interested? Publicist Anne Edgar, who has generated media coverage for museums large and small, will discuss how to attract the attention of journalists, especially for stories that don't appear compelling at first glance. She will be joined by Judith H. Dobrzynski, freelance arts contributor to the Wall Street Journal, the New York Times and other publications. Even if you are not responsible for public relations at your institution, their advice will help you present your collections' stories in a way that will draw attention. 1:00 - 2:00 BREAK 2:00 - 3:30 PM Using Social Media to tell Your Collections' Stories ”Presenter: Nancie Ravenel, Objects Conservator, Shelburne Museum, Vermont ”Commentator: Colleen Dilenschneider, Museum and Non-Profit Blogger, California While the morning session will focus on attracting the attention of journalists who will tell your story, this afternoon's session on social media will help you tell the story yourself, directly to readers, through the ever-expanding worlds of Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Foursquare, and beyond. Nancie Ravenel, a conservator with an interest in social media, has taken the lead in using social media to share information about the Shelburne Museum. Colleen Dilenschneider writes the popular blog Know Your Own Bone, and helps museums and non-profits evolve through community engagement using social media. Thursday, November 4, 2010 2:00 - 3:30 p.m., EST Getting the Most from your Bookshelf: Care of Art and Objects ”Presenter: Kristen Laise, Vice President for Collections Care Programs, Heritage Preservation ”Commentators: Catharine Hawks, Objects Conservator, Virginia ”Deborah Long, Objects Conservator, Gerald Ford Conservation Center, Nebraska ”Margaret Holben Ellis, Eugene Thaw Professor of Paper Conservation, Institute of Fine Arts, New York University and Director, Thaw Conservation Center, Morgan Library & Museum, New York More than 3,000 libraries, museums, and archives now have the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, a set of collections care resources designed to assist small institutions in caring for their collections. While rich with information, the Bookshelf can be challenging to navigate. Kristen Laise, who organized selection of Bookshelf texts and prepared the User's Guide, will lead participants through means to find the information they need in the Bookshelf and in its companion Guide to Online Resources. Catharine Hawks, a conservator of natural science collections who consults regularly with small museums, Margaret Ellis, author of The Care of Prints and Drawings, and Deborah Long of the Gerald Ford Conservation Center at the Nebraska Historical Society will answer questions about steps you can take at your own institution. NOTE: While this session will be of primary interest to institutions that have the Bookshelf, others may well find it of interest. The Bookshelf Users Guide, available as a PDF, is a useful guide to resources for collections care for all, as is the Guide to Online Resources. It is recommended that all participants have both resources handy during the webinar. Monday, November 22, 2010 11:30 a.m. - 1:00 p.m., EST Funding for Collections Care ”Presenters: Debra Hess Norris, Chairperson, Art Conservation Department, University of Delaware ”Lee Price, Director of Development, Conservation Center for Art and Historic Artifacts, Philadelphia One of the biggest challenges in moving ahead with collections care projects can be finding adequate funding. Donors, board members, and even your own development staff often see collections care as less than compelling. The speakers in this webinar have achieved success in raising funds for collections care, both on behalf of their own organizations and for others. Debbie Hess Norris will demonstrate how enthusiasm in making the case, coupled with a rich understanding of the stories behind your collections, can yield success in fund-raising. Lee Price will discuss strategies for successful grant applications. Thursday, December 2, 2010 2:00 - 3:30 p.m., EST Public Outreach and Collections Care ”Presenters: Susan Blakney, Chief Conservator, West Lake Conservation, Skaneatles, New York ”Beth Tice, Associate Director, Central Libraries, Baylor University, Waco, Texas ”Amber Kerr-Allison, Paintings Conservator and Limited-Term Researcher, University of Delaware, Art Conservation Department Public awareness is the key starting point for building support --from individuals, from local government, from the private sector. When people have first-hand experience with the issues facing your collections, they can become effective advocates in the community. Susan Blakney has helped many small museums with which she has consulted involve their communities in their collections. Beth Tice has reached beyond the university community to show the residents of Waco ways in which the library's collections and resources can help them preserve their own treasures. Amber Kerr-Allison has conducted public outreach activities at the Smithsonian's Lunder Conservation Center. Thursday, December 9, 2010 2:00 - 3:30 p.m., EST Getting the Most from Your Bookshelf: Care of Paper, Photographs, and Audiovisual Collections ”Presenter: Kristen Laise, Vice President for Collections Care Programs, Heritage Preservation ”Commentators: Julie Page, Co-Coordinator, California Preservation Program ”MJ Davis, Conservator in Private Practice, Vermont ”Jean-Louis Bigourdan, Image Permanence Institute, Rochester, New York More than 3,000 libraries, museums, and archives now have the Connecting to Collections Bookshelf, a set of collections care resources designed to assist small institutions in caring for their collections. While rich with information, the Bookshelf can be challenging to navigate. Kristen Laise, who organized selection of the Bookshelf texts and prepared the User's Guide, will lead participants through means to find the information they need in the Bookshelf and its companion Guide to Online Resources. Julie Page, a librarian, consultant, and expert on emergency preparedness, Jean-Louis Bigourdan, a contributor to the IPI Media Storage Quick Reference, and MJ Davis, a paper conservator who consults regularly with small museums, libraries, and archives, will answer questions about steps you can take at your own institutions.

Along with that we're trying to standardize our approach to the database including how we organize and search information. One of the questions that has come up is how best to use the search terms field to help link related items within the collection. In the past we have used proper nouns in the search terms field (e.g. American Red Cross) to link objects, archival materials, books, and photographs together. However, it's recently been suggested that using an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) would be better. The argument for this approach is that it would standardize the copious terms we have for the same things (some localities have several spellings each used at different times), it would bring our database in line with the local library's database (who also has a local history book collection), and ultimately it might bring us in line with other collecting agencies when all of our collections information is fully available online and we're operating under web 3.0 (which may or may not be a ways off). In researching this possibility I have found that museums are using OPAC for their library and archival collections, which makes sense since it was designed for those collections. However, I have not found OPAC is also being used to search object and photographic collections. In fact I haven't seen any discussion of a generally accepted approach to object catalogs and search terms. Each institution seems to create their own. Is anyone using OPAC for all of their collections (beyond just books and manuscripts)? Are there are any reasons not to use OPAC for object collections? How does your museum organize and use the search terms field, if at all? Is there a generally accepted approach to search terms? Any help you could offer would be most appreciated.

Hi Mark,
 
I am with Kristie here, it is MUCH easier to use the nomenclature that is already built into PastPerfect (especially if you are cataloging man made objects).

While the nomenclature in PastPerfect is limited to types of objects and materials, I have found the LOC national standards provided for general use with libraries and archives can easily be adopted for museum collection databases. This can work especially well over time as long as everyone who is cataloging within your institution follows an established standard practice in regard to assigning subject search terms.

Mark,

 

It sounds like what you are looking for is the standardized Nomenclature system which is built into Past Perfect. It is a system used to standardized object terms (and spellings) not only within an organization but also between institutions. Depending on what version of Past Perfect you are using you will have Nomenclature 2.0 or 3.0 built in. There is a nomenclature  discussion board where you can post questions and get more instruction through AASLH (and you don’t have to be an AASLH member to use it!) It can be found  http://aaslhcommunity.org/nomenclature. I would be happy to talk to you more about Past Perfect search terms ---you can also sort items by people, subject, classification or search terms in addition to object name. Since it sounds like you are just starting out in Past Perfect I would encourage you to use nomenclature from the beginning. Cleaning it up afterwards is possible, but it is time consuming.

Subject: [MUSEUM-L] Objects, OPAC, and PastPerfect

 

Greetings All,

I am working on a project to enter 100 years' worth of collections information into our PastPerfect database. Along with that we're trying to standardize our approach to the database including how we organize and search information.

One of the questions that has come up is how best to use the search terms field to help link related items within the collection. In the past we have used proper nouns in the search terms field (e.g. American Red Cross) to link objects, archival materials, books, and photographs together. However, it's recently been suggested that using an Online Public Access Catalog (OPAC) would be better. The argument for this approach is that it would standardize the copious terms we have for the same things (some localities have several spellings each used at different times), it would bring our database in line with the local library's database (who also has a local history book collection), and ultimately it might bring us in line with other collecting agencies when all of our collections information is fully available online and we're operating under web 3.0 (which may or may not be a ways off).

In researching this possibility I have found that museums are using OPAC for their library and archival collections, which makes sense since it was designed for those collections. However, I have not found OPAC is also being used to search object and photographic collections. In fact I haven't seen any discussion of a generally accepted approach to object catalogs and search terms. Each institution seems to create their own.

Is anyone using OPAC for all of their collections (beyond just books and manuscripts)? Are there are any reasons not to use OPAC for object collections? How does your museum organize and use the search terms field, if at all? Is there a generally accepted approach to search terms?

Any help you could offer would be most appreciated.


Thanks In Advance,

We’ve had good luck with the calcium carbonate method described in the conserve-o-gram. However I’d like to add an additional note of caution, since you mention this is a silver-plated trophy, not solid. The amount of silver on plated wares varies tremendously based on how much was initially applied and how much has worn/been polished away over the years. The last thing you want is to polish away the silver layer and expose the base metal below. So take a good look before you start to see if the silver is already worn away in any areas and in general go very lightly with the carbonate.

Can anyone provide a source for flexible Mylar UV filters that curl around fluorescent tube lamps? Gaylord and University Products both carry this product, but they cost about $6 each. I found another source out of Andover, MA called North Solar Screen that sell a similar product for $3.75 each. I was surprised by the high cost per filter and and would like to find out if these filters are available elsewhere for less. 2. Is anyone using fluorescent bulbs that have built-in UV blocking? I came across a product from GE called Ecolux covRguard that blocks all light wavelengths below 520 nanometers (the entire UV spectrum and some of the visible spectrum). These bulbs are also shatterproof. We're looking into the cost effectiveness of using a bulb with built-in UV blocking versus a regular fluorescent lamp with a separate UV filter, but I would like to know if the GE covRguard (or other similar product) works as described by the manufacturer.

I assume that you're already using nomenclature to standardize object names and that your question is more in regard to using subject headings to link objects, photos, books and archives in PastPerfect's search term field. We use the Library of Congress Name Authority Headings (http://authorities.loc.gov/) for proper names as much as possible and refer to DACS (Describing Archives A Content Standard) when we need to create local authoritative names that are not authorized by the LOC. I'm trying really hard not to reinvent the wheel. The hope is that when we need to export MARC records from our archive and library catalogs, the headings will be consistent with the rest of the world and will need limited editing. I have an Excel spreadsheet where I keep track of all of the local search terms that have been authorized and I am trying very hard to drill into everyone's head that anything entered into that field Must be authorized first or it may not be entered. Hopefully this will keep us from having more then one term for the same thing. So far it's working. I'd love to know what everyone else is doing!

Additionally, when the bulbs fail (or more properly, begin to age and loose their intensity and often color balance), you can reuse the filter sleeves on the new bulbs, as long as they are still effective, which generally the newer ones are (but as always, test to be sure). This saves a lot of money in the long run. As to the specific bulb you inquire about, I have no personal experience, but any bulb that blocks all light below 520 nanometers will appear very red-orange, so it will have a low color temperature (definitely not daylight) and probably also will have a low color rendering index (CRI). You can do a lot better on all accounts with your own bulbs selected for their exact purposes (and they can be different bulbs in different locations if you wish) with UV sleeves over them. There are generally two types of UV-filtering sleeves, the rigid plastic tubes with end caps, and flexible mylar sleeves that wrap directly against the bulbs. In theory, the flexible sleeves are less expensive, but all prices depend upon the specific vendor and what types of closeouts and specials are available at a given time. However, it is also reasonable to assume that the quality is not necessarily the same between all brands and types. Ask for a spectral transmission curve from the manufacturer, and for a curve after aging (this will probably be harder to get, but the good manufacturers should be able to provide it). Be sure that the UV is adequately filtered in both curves. If you have a reliable UV meter, you can test sample filters yourself, and can check them after real-time aging. Yes, you can make your own sleeves from UV-filtering mylar sheets, but you will have to compare the cost of material plus labor cutting them and getting them to curl around the bulbs (tape is not ideal as it will degrade), and any waste, with the cost of buying them already made.

Is this something people feel would be of value? If so, I'm happy to set up and host such a list (with a dynamic system for allowing people to add themselves, and likewise for people to mark inactive/dead listings).

Thoughts?

Colleagues,

About "OnContract" -  a listing of collection managers and registrars and their qualifications who make themselves available for contract work

This site has been suspended for the time being. The link on the RC website has been removed. While of some small service to the community, it has also been a completely volunteer effort.  Unfortunately, I do not have the time to keep it up.  I feel keeping it static (as it has been since November 2008) is not fair to those who have listed their services, nor is it fair to those who seek services.  Thanks to all who have allowed themselves to be listed here and to all who have used it to identify independent service providers.

We are trying to cut down on paper mailings—especially our membership renewal letters. We are considering getting the ball rolling by sending out a postcard to our entire list to ask them to update their email addresses and opt for electronic mail. We will give them incentives (discount on membership, perhaps?) if they do this.

 

Have any of you had any experience doing this? What was your response rate? Did you offer an incentive? Is there any advice you could impart regarding which types of mailings you continue to send via snail mail (Invitations to particular events? Newsletters? Long overdue renewal letters?).

 

 

Thanks all!

They could run quicktime movies wirelessly from a server. I'd just velcro them to the wall which would be ok as long as they are in a monitored, secure gallery space which ours is. They're so beautiful and minimal but, big problem, their internal programming prevents showing video full-screen and looping. I pretty much solved that issue by hiring a programmer to hack their code. It's a bit of overkill to use them for such a small fraction of their capability, but given their price it's fairly cost effective when compared to other small-screen display electronics. And being able to change their programming remotely through a server would be a big advantage. So I experimented with one, but in the end decided they're just not quite there yet. Our hack was a little unstable, could have worked but not without some degree of monitoring for glitches. Maybe future versions or upgrades will enable such a use. Meanwhile, I discovered that HP makes something called a "DreamScreen" that does all those above things, is a good-looking minimal black rectangle, comes in 10 and 13-inch screen versions, runs several video formats full-screen, loops, and costs only $200. I didn't take advantage of its wireless capabilities, just downloaded video onto an SD card through my laptop and then uploaded to the DreamScreen's memory. It even has keyholes on the back for wall-hanging. So far so good - I've got five of them running video in the gallery and we don't even bother to turn them off at night, just leave them running. Their sustainability is unproven, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed . . . /stephen __________________________________________________________________ S t e p h e n N o w l i n V.P., Director, Williamson Gallery | Art Center College of Design | 626.396.2397 Williamson on Google: http://www.williamsongallery.net/google Williamson on Facebook: http://www.williamsongallery.net/facebook __________________________________________________________________ on 10/19/10 3:24 PM, Krista Kohlhausen said: Please post responses to all--- I am interested as well!

Hello-

Has anyone yet developed school programming at your sites using the
iPad? I
just got one (personally), and was thinking about how to incorporate it
into my historic site/museum programs, not just using it for the sake of
it
being a cool new gadget. Would love to hear your ideas!

An HTML version of this release can be viewed on the agency's Web site: http://www.imls.gov/news/2010/101910.shtm FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE October 19, 2010 Press Contacts 202-653-4630 Mamie Bittner, [log in to unmask] The Institute of Museum and Library Services, the University of Washington, and the International City/County Management Association to Develop a Framework for Digitally Inclusive Communities Washington, DC-The Institute of Museum and Library Services (IMLS) announced today that it is awarding a $150,000 cooperative agreement to the University of Washington in partnership with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) to develop a framework for digitally inclusive communities. "Public access to high-speed internet is becoming essential to meet the workforce development, education, civic engagement, government services, and health information needs of communities. And people increasingly depend upon libraries and community-based organizations to provide that access," said Marsha L. Semmel, IMLS Acting Director. "The framework for digitally inclusive communities will help policymakers and practitioners make decisions that enhance their communities' social and economic well-being." The agreement is part of the agency's effort to address the recommendations of the National Broadband Plan (http://www.broadband.gov/plan/) released in March 2010, which presented a vision of pervasive and affordable broadband for every American. Recommendation 9.3 of the plan calls on IMLS to "develop guidelines for public access technology based on populations served and organization size. These guidelines would help libraries and community-based organizations assess their needs for public access workstations, portable devices, and bandwidth. IMLS should work with these organizations to develop guidelines and review them annually to reflect changing technology and practices." The framework, which will identify the principles, elements, and characteristics of organizations and communities that foster digital inclusion, is intended to be a first step in the future development of benchmarks and community-level guidelines. Representatives of libraries, community-based organizations, business, local government, and non-governmental organizations will be engaged in the development and use their knowledge of the needs and complexities of local communities to ensure the applicability of the framework. About the Institute of Museum and Library Services The Institute of Museum and Library Services is the primary source of federal support for the nation's 123,000 libraries and 17,500 museums. The Institute's mission is to create strong libraries and museums that connect people to information and ideas. The Institute works at the national level and in coordination with state and local organizations to sustain heritage, culture, and knowledge; enhance learning and innovation; and support professional development.

Founded in 1876, the museum was one of the first academic museums in the United States. It serves as a multidisciplinary cultural laboratory for the college, with a comprehensive permanent collection of over 16,000 objects, and is actively used in teaching by faculty and students. A lively schedule of innovative and intellectually rigorous exhibitions and programs complements the rotating installations of works of art from the museum?s own holdings. The Director of the Art Museum is appointed by the President and reports to the Dean of Faculty. The Director supervises a staff of four full-time and several outside-funded full and part-time professionals, and works closely with the senior administration, the faculty, students, and the museum?s Art Advisory Board.

Half of the 210 faculty are women and one fourth are persons of color. The college is located about 80 miles west of Boston in the Connecticut River valley, and is a member of the Five College Consortium consisting of Amherst, Hampshire, Mount Holyoke, and Smith Colleges and the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. The Mount Holyoke Art Museum regularly collaborates with the art museums and galleries at these other institutions. Mount Holyoke is committed to fostering multicultural diversity and awareness in its faculty, staff, and student body and is an Equal Opportunity Employer. Women and persons of color are especially encouraged to apply. For more information about the Art Museum, please see our website: http://www.mtholyoke.edu/artmuseum/index.html.

The 2011 conference will feature a variety of presentation formats. Please review the formats described in the full call and select the one that will work best for your topic. You may submit up to three different proposals. However, please keep in mind that the program chairs are seeking to craft a conference that features as many different presenters as possible.

I have a four and a half year old granddaughter who can now assemble the map of the United States in about 4-1/2. Minutes, can tell you about the sad tale of Vincent Van Gogh but knows to look for the yellows and blues he paired in his works, and just today assembled Boticelli's Birth of Venus and one of Monet's works involving Camille using Art Puzzles while Grandma worked from home, all done while exploring the iPad. If I could afford another, she would have her own. So easy to use, easy to train how to care for, and good for countless hours of knowledge transfer if you know where to look.
