<p><strong>Description:</strong></p>
<p>Cataloging may not be the most exciting museum task, but it
is among the most important. Without a clear knowledge of
your holdings, you can't protect, care for, research or
exhibit them. Without knowledge of an item's history, you
can't properly appreciate its value to your museum.
Cataloging Your Collection covers all details needed to
catalog a collection. Procedures for handling, measuring and
describing all types of objects and materials are discussed
in detail. Participants receive sample forms and learn the
best practices for numbering artifacts, performing inventory
and assessing the condition of objects. Participants
practice describing everyday objects and cataloging items
from their own collections or households.</p>
