When I was the Curator/Educator at La Salle County Historical Society, I did an exhibit on Native American cultures of Northern Illinois. While the labels gave a lot of information on the exhibit, we had a stand of interactives--items related to the exhibit that people could handle. For these interactivess we did a single page handout explaining how the objects was used; what it was made of (the real item, not the reproduction that was in the interactive); whether a man, woman, or child used it; etc. We called them footnotes (decorated with footprints around the edges). They were very popular. I found myself running off additional copies every day.
