Marking

From: Todd Ellison <*ellison_t<-a*> Date: Tuesday, July 1, 1997 · ellison_t<-a

We're wondering if museum registrars still recommend permanently
marking objects with an accession number (cf. Museum Registration
Methods, p. 51-53)? Coming at this from an archival perspective
we're wanting to abide by the principle of never doing something
that's irreversible.  "Do no harm."

We appreciate any help and advice you can send us,
