1. Sticking a label on the object
(This method can be used on many types of object but do not use on surfaces that are crumbly, flaky or hairy)
2. Sewn on label
(Available in a range of weights. Soft weights are more sympathetic to soft, fragile objects)
3. Immersible label
(This method is used for specimens preserved in fluid)
4. Water immersible label
(for object stored in water)
5. Label on pin
(for pinned biological specimen)
6. Loose label
(for small objects such as coins)
7. Tie-on label
(Paper labels may fall apart in a flood; Fibres from cotton may stick to artefacts; String may be nylon not cotton and deteriorate and harm the object; Cotton string may wick oil from the object, oil may cause ink to run; Paper and cotton labels are an insect food source)
8. Duplicated pencil mark
(For paper)
9. Number applied with paint
(Larger objects, particularly in agricultural, transport or industrial collections, could have their number painted on using a suitable paint. If the object is kept outdoors, it may be necessary to monitor the effects of weathering on the number)
10. Marking packaging or support
(an object may be removed from its packaging; photograph of the object; Record the total number of objects in the packaging; weight the object)
(The packaging should, where possible, be transparent (unless the items are light

sensitive) to reduce the need for handling)
11. Mixing the varnish

*9 Golden Rules for labelling and marking*

# data[].attributes.body
1. Secure - Avoid accidental removal of the label
2. Reversible - It should be possible for a label or mark to be removed intentionally from an object.

3. Safe for the object
4. Discreet but visible - The number should be visible enough to reduce the need to handle the object.

5. Convenient and safe for staff and volunteer - Materials should be easily available in small quantities at a reasonable price.

6. Health and safety
7. Materials to avoid
8. Security marking
9. Positioning of labels and marks

I also have a habit of collecting shoeboxes after purchasing my lovely shoes. I am really into searching for comfortable shoes that make me happy. Those shoeboxes contain a personal memory, a history of an old brand, or a personal preference for a different type of shoes.

03 Dec Kettle's Yard (My favourite visit)

# data[].attributes.body
When I walked into the house, I felt it was a comfortable old house. But we can rarely walk on the carpets, touch the paintings, which are looking old. Then, I asked the tour guide, Kim, how to conserve the carpets. She answered me that it is the rarest thing inside this building, conservation not the primary purpose. We had some plants, natural lights that would cause damage to all the old objects, but we want to establish a sense of "Home" for our visitors.

After listening to this answer, I rethink the lecture on Thursday about conservation or restoration. Some old buildings would tend to restore their place for inspiration and imagination rather than stop further damages. That may be the most typical example of discussing conservation and restoration.

Could you tell me more about your history of being a replica? That is the complete one in this museum. It shows the pleasures of the flesh with heat and sweat. Any public sculpture of women? It reminds me of the sculpture of Lady Liberty Hong Kong, which records the equipment and posture to fight for freedom in 2019.

Looking at the description and the broken object, I remember my broken egg. :(
It's always happened while moving artefacts. The museum reproduces the pot with the indigenous community. I appreciate the museum showing the broken pot, and attempting to restore the pot. However, it makes me feel that something was broken under colonialism. There is something that has never been recovered, physically as the pot, and emotionally for those Benin people.

Can you discover which Collection Management System(s) are (typically) used in your home country?

I'm not sure the most typical one that is used in HK, but I have discovered Asia Art Archive, West Kowloon Cultural District, and K11 Art Foundation are using Qi. The museums were established in the 21st century.

Post up a note here with a (very) brief description and, if possible, a web link.
