Museum work is collections care plus public interpretation. Numbering, location control, condition reporting and loan files are the backbone. The cards below describe published archaeological types used in Indian teaching — NBPW, PGW, punch-marked coins, Harappan seals, Chola bronzes — so students can recognise evidence in the literature.
Museum studies
History of collecting, law (AAT Act 1972), ethics, audience research and bilingual labels. A teaching museum is a future facility, not a claimed national museum.
Documentation fields
Object name, period, material, region, classification, description, conservation status, digital record identifier, and a source. Uncertainty is written down.
