Greetings, TMS List Serv,

Have any of you successfully implemented a "Works on Paper" classification (exclusive of photographs) to include drawings, watercolors, prints, etc.?

If so, do you note the more traditional designation of drawing, print, etc. in the Object Name/Work Type field, with additional details such as specific process or technique in the Medium field?

I am working on updating our Museum's existing data standards compiled by the former Data Standards Manager, and have been interviewing several of our curators and conservators regarding their views on the subject. I would appreciate your replies regarding the pros and cons of using a "Works on Paper" classification, either via the List Serv or off-list.

Thanks,

Merrianne Timko
