9.5 Art Storage and ARTSTORE Database

February 10, 2021 - 10:13am by Anonymous (not verified)

Manuscript Unit staff send requests for updates to records in the artstore database to the Assistant Head of Access Services for Collection Management. This database tracks items shelved in Art Storage.

For items remaining in art storage, the call number should be updated in the Artstore database and on the labels affixed to the items. For items removed from art storage and shelved in boxes, the record can be deleted from Artstore. 

For new items that need to be added to art storage, the archivist should request a new record in the database and then route the item to the Assistant Head of Access Services for Collection Management, who will shelve the item and input the location information.
