What numbering system should we use? Where do you write the numbers? How do you apply the numbers, and with what? What is Chenhall’s Nomenclature? If these questions sound familiar, this workshop is for you. An experienced registrar will demystify museum registration methods and help you catalog collections the right way.

 

Participants can “attend” remotely, if they prefer. If you can watch and listen to a video on Facebook or YouTube, you can attend our workshops remotely! See our website for full details.
