I am working on showing a wide variety of pieces
  in a very small space and would like to have both
  readable but not overly noticeable labels, which
  may be fixed onto a wall, or attached to an object
  by a tag with wire or string attaching it to the artifact.
  As I am new to this, are there any 'standards' or a
  specific technique that is in wide-use for conveying
  basic information and any URLs or online guides for
  doing so? This is in an effort to unite a wide diversity
  of objects in a wunderkammer-like environment, so
  any ideas or suggestions are appreciated on how
  to best approach labeling in such an exhibit space.
  Thanks. Brian
