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!!
