Incoming and outcoming material 11 In general, objects are received in a museum for study or examination; as purchases, gifts, or bequests for the permanent collection; as loans for special exhibitions; or as extended loans to the museum for long-term, sometimes indefinite, use. For whatever reason an object comes to a museum, the registrar has several responsibilities in receiving the new material. 3. The Registration of objects

Or the number is placed on the base, inside the rim of the foot. Care must be taken to place the number where it will not be scraped as the piece is set down or moved. If necessary, the number can be placed near the lower edge of the back. Potsherds are marked on the side without decoration. Pottery pipes are marked on the bottom of the bowl or, if broken, on the inside surface

ดร. จิตติมา อมรพิเชษฐ์กูล Museum and Gallery Management20 Classifying Paintings, Drawings, and Prints by Media Drawings The classification of drawings usually involves the type of material used as a pigment rather than a vehicle or medium with which pigments are mixed. There are, then, drawings in pencil, pen and ink, brush and ink, charcoal, crayons of colored wax, colored chalks, points of metals such as silver, gold, and lead, and sometimes paint…. Occasionally a drawing is complex enough that the result might be referred to as a painting, as in the case of pastel drawings by Degas and Lautrec. Technically, however, when a dry-pigment process is used, that is, when the coloring substance is rubbed into the ground or support, the result should referred as a drawing. The classification of works in pastel as drawing or paintings is more or less a matter of opinion. Thus, in this classification, pastel is listed as a type of painting as well as a drawing medium.

ดร. จิตติมา อมรพิเชษฐ์กูล Museum and Gallery Management23 Classifying Paintings, Drawings, and Prints by Media Graphic Arts The term “graphic arts” is in general use for designating all processes for the production of multiple-proof pictures on paper on a handmade basis, the work being done either wholly or for the most part by the original artist and the editions limited. The processes are also referred to as printmaking and the resulting pictures as prints. In classifying prints it is important to know something about the various processes in use today…The four types are relief, intaglio, planographic, and stencil.
