London Hub: Sustainable solutions for collections storage project
- Project Plan
- Reviewing Machine Readable Labelling Systems - Final Report
The Hub commissioned this review of the use of machine-readable labelling systems across the heritage sector to evaluate the benefits of this technology both as a collections management tool, and as a means of providing user access to collections information. The study focuses on the use of machine-readable technologies eg Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) and bar coding as methods to control object movements, update locations, enhance security and facilitate access to information associated with an object or collection of objects.
Julian Tomlin was appointed as the consultant, and the report was presented on 14 March 2008. The report contains a technological overview (covering 1D and 3D barcodes, RFID tags and readers), a review, decision-making charts, ten case studies, and a database of installations and suppliers.Further information may be obtained from Sharon Robinson (see below) and Julian Tomlin. - Recording Physical Access to Stored Collections - Final Report
