Hi, I have just been employed by The Science Centre and Manawatu Museum (Palmerston North, New Zealand) to design a collection management system for interactive science exhibits. I need to apply museum principles to this task yet the exhibits are quite different from museum/art objects and the documentation of them requires a different approach. I have to devise a numbering system, compile a catalogue, and develop condition reports. Is there anyone who is developing or using documentation of this type? I can't seem to find any precedents. If so, can you please send me copies of your worksheets / documentation forms, and/or information on any cataloguing system appropriate. Any assistance will be greatly appreciated!!
