Administrative history

The Registration department was formally established in 1930 and served the Museum of Art and Archaeology. In 1968 the department expanded to provide shipping, customs, and insurance services for the rest of the Museum. The Department checked all in coming and outgoing material for the Art and Archaeology Departments, produced card records for the curatorial departments, and maintained a book record system between 1920 and 1940, which later became a card record system.
