Subject: RFID tags
It has been some time since the DistList last discussed RFID and other forms of intelligent data tags. The last few years have seen further technological advancements from tiny chips that can be adhered to cultural heritage materials with a reversible adhesive, to even "chipless" forms. Does anyone here have experience implementing an RFID or other intelligent data tag system that meets preservation standards? Even better, does anyone have experience implementing such tags for manuscript collections who would be willing to offer any tips, advice, and other insight?
