From: Textile Conservators <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Dee Stubbs-Lee Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2019 8:19 AM To: ListServ texcons <[log in to unmask]> Subject: accession number labelling methods for textile artifacts External Email - Exercise Caution For many years, we have been running Hollytex through a typewriter to produce accession number labels for our textile and costume artifacts. We liked these labels because they were small and discreet, but still easily legible. As it becomes increasingly difficult to get typewriter ribbons for our last operational typewriter, we are looking for alternative ideas from other institutions. We have also tried using Microperm and similar pigment pens on various substrates, with mixed success. Our collection manager has asked me if it's possible to somehow produce labels on a computer printer, which I thought was an idea worth looking into. I just thought I would put this out to the community and see what ideas others have come up with. Obviously, we need something that's safe for the collections, easily legible, flexible, and durable, as well as user friendly and easy to do. Any ideas? Dee A.
