Hi Caroline;

 

At the Royal Ontario Museum, some of us in the Natural History Department use the Events module to record Collecting Events to which we link our specimens.  Not sure if this is what you meant by “anything other than their intended use”.

Is anyone using the other modules i.e. events/ exhibitions/ sites for anything other than their intended use?

 

Also in a slightly related but different question, how are people keeping track of research being done on their objects? Do you use any specific module within TMS to store all the information? We are thinking about following the Harvard Peabody Museum and using exhibitions module for our research, but I’d like to know how other institutions are keeping track of extra research data. The objects module doesn’t really have a good way of storing the researcher/ data in one place.

 

Thanks!
