<p>Hi Laura,</p>
<p>The Summerland Museum is currently undergoing renovations and in order to do so we have had to clear out a large portion of our collection and move it across town. We have used a colour coding system to distinguish one collection from another. Each Box is labeled (with contents listed) on two sides in colour and is assigned a number. Once a box is labeled, it is entered into our computer as "ready to be moved." Once the box leaves, it is moved to a computer file that is marked "Moved to Storage." Since we are a small museum, we have found that this system is working well for us (we are still in the middle of marking boxes). Hope this helps even a little!</p>
