[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Cataloging framed portraits

[Dean DeBolt]

We have a small art gallery on campus (The Art Gallery) called TAG.   Some
years back, they asked for a way to
be able to 'catalog' their holdings online.  Then we were using Archon and
they wanted simply be able to look at
paintings and their 'accession' record.  I was a little concerned about the
accession record being public but their
staff had no issue with it.   So I just did simple listing of the object,
with scans of the painting and of the form.

Later these transferred to ArchivesSpace when Lyrasis managed a transfer
for us.  They're not perfect, and I
would do my entry a little differently for art pieces or framed works here
in Archives, however here's an
example:
