C2C Care: Marking & Labeling Collections (subtítulos en español)
Channel: AIC & FAIC
Date: 2015-12-21

Collections need to be marked in some way to designate ownership and to manage the intellectual and physical control of objects in museums, libraries, archives and special collections – including living collections or research subjects in the field. This webinar will present the many ways that collections are marked and labeled. A history of marking will be briefly reviewed with an emphasis on types, technologies, considerations, problems, solutions, best practices and potential for future developments. This discussion should be of interest to registrars, collection care managers, and security, exhibits, education and programming professionals.
