Ms. Elliott:
We record auction records as part of
Object Provenance, and if available also PDF the actual auction catalogue page
(web and/or print versions) with sale results, and associate this doc as a
media file (hard copy to collection archives). Since there is little agreement
among museum professionals over citation standards and provenance research generally
is an emerging field, we have opted for the standard set by the National
Gallery of Art as our model (documentation attached).

Subject: tracking auction records
Does anyone use TMS to
keep track of auction records for individual pieces?
If you do, I'm interested in finding out where you record this
data.
Many thanks!
