At the National Gallery, we record frames as separate objects, linked to paintings as current or previous framing. Glazing information is added to the frame record, using a context authority (‘Glazing’) and a context date (‘Glazing Date’) field. Further information is included in a short text field (‘Frame allocation notes’). Terms for the ‘Glazing’ field are:

  *   display case
  *   glazed, material unspecified
  *   integral frame
  *   laminated glass
  *   LRLG 4.4 mm
  *   LRLG 6.4 mm
  *   Optium acrylic
  *   Optium acrylic 4.5 mm
  *   Optium acrylic 6 mm
  *   Perspex
  *   plate glass
  *   shadow box
  *   unglazed
  *   unglazed, glass in store
  *   unlaminated glass

Best wishes

Hello all,

I’m trying to establish a process for documenting the glazing of our framed works in TMS and am curious how others have approached. Currently we use a mix of Text Entries, Handling Notes, and the Storage Comments field…

Any insight would be greatly appreciated!

Best,
Meredith
