Dear colleagues:

 

We have just recently completed a conversion from Argus to TMS and I am
so pleased to finally be on the other side!

 

The object count field has been made a priority clean up project and I'm
wondering if anyone might share their style guidelines for this field?
Obviously, it gets tricky with multiples and whole/parts and it would be
extremely helpful to see how others have handled this.

 

Troublesome types for object count:

*	Sets: 

	*	Tea sets with cups, saucers, teapots, lids, spoons
	*	Pairs of figures or vases

*	Fashion: 

	*	Pairs of shoes, gloves, earrings
	*	Suits with multiple parts or ensembles that would never
be exhibited apart

*	Albums

	*	Prints that are bound in an album
	*	Prints that were bound in an album but have been since
separated

*	Diptychs, Triptychs, etc.

 

The user shared resources on the website have been very useful, but I
would love to get a few more examples. Thanks in advance!

 

Best,

Laura
