Hi Alexis, We treat the physical object as one item, so it gets one record. But the drawings on either side would be assigned subpoints (we use letters for that purpose, so the item would be 2000.1.0, but with the subpoints, would be 2000.1.0a,b) and the individual sides would be described and tracked using the letters as part of the number.

We have done it a few different ways and are looking to standardize our rules if possible. Does anyone use: a single record with the information for both drawings crammed in? components? two separate records linked together (or to a third parent r/v record)? The advantages to having 2 distinct records seems to be better management of the cataloguing data of each drawing, with the ability to attach specific images to that data. The advantages to having a single record seem to be better management of conservation reports, managing locations and loans, etc. Thanks for any thoughts.
