The Australian National maritime Museum (ANMM) has been using
barcodes to track objects for some time. I am involved in a textile
storage project at the ANMM. Registration staff move objects to the
conservation lab for storage and back to the storage area
afterwards. We are storing like objects with like objects Eg jackets
with jackets and like materials together Eg, Silk and wool fibres
together. So barcodes are a fast and efficient way of tracking the
object on the Museum System.
