[Nhcoll-l] Labels for Collection

Thu Mar 12 10:12:16 EDT 2020

... with regard to historic labels (100 years+) you loose the original 
source of information. The KUR-project at the MfN demonstrated how 
useful it is to keep the historic labels e.g. to restore faded 
information with specific light setting or treatments (you can't do this 
from a scan). Also analysis of the historic ink can be a valuable source 
if you want to restore information of historic jars that lost context 
(e.g. in one of the large two wars). So it might be worth archiving the 
historic labels dry and to keep them linked to the original jar if 
restoration of data and information from historic labels is an issue in 
your collection (we are largely post-WWII and lost 955 of the historic 
collection, thus I am less sentimental with handwritten 1950ies labels 
in our collection).
