I agree with Lucy about the cataloging of objects. Here at the Florida Bureau of Natural and Cultural Resources we have a special column for Associations. This column handles any related persons, places, events or activites, concepts or themes and if the context is different from the original use of the object. This eliminates any problems that may arise when there is a change in personnel and the object information needs to be accessed by a person who did not originally catalog the object or for persons in the field who do not understand the museum lingo. It also helps the researcher who is doing a material culture study and needs to link objects to persons and concepts. Debra Westerman Museum Regsitrar Florida Park Service [log in to unmask]
