RE: Labels

[Rebecca Fifield <RFifield@xxxxxxx>]

Hi Nancy,
Our Peruvian archaeolgical textiles are housed in window mounts of mat board
(thickness depends on the thickness of the textile. The surface the object
rests on is muslin. The whole mount is slipped into an envelope of mylar on
top and pellon at the back.

The number is applied to the corner of the mount in pencil, not the object.
Hope this helps.

I am rehousing a group of Peruvian archaeological
textile fragments, and would like to know what
materials people prefer for sewn on labels.  I am
planning to use cotton tape, but have not decided what
medium to use for the accession numbers.

Also, what are alternative methods when a fragment is
too fragile for sewing.

Thanks,  Nancy
