Hello,

I am wondering if anyone can share how they treat recto/verso objects in TMS (e.g. two drawings – one on each side of a single sheet of paper). 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.
