Large objects/artefacts

Large objects such as costumes, scenery, props, instruments, models and puppets are very suitable for item-level description, with several arguments in their favour:

• Storing large items requires a large depot or storage area. If you don't have this available, you might consider not keeping the objects, or repurposing or destroying them. So it's important that the documents are properly documented to make it clear that they were once part of your archive or collection. An item-level description is needed to link this information back to the inventory;
• You have an overview of all the objects you are currently storing. A good description (possibly with photos) means the object needs less physical checking so there is less risk of it becoming damaged;
• An item-level inventory is an important prerequisite for being able to value your collection and making a distinction between more and less valuable objects;
• The inventory is a useful tool for keeping a record of which objects require restorative works in the short and long term;
• An inventory is very handy when looking for a suitable storage place;
• The descriptions of the objects can even lead to new inspiration for a new production or event.
