What does an eexhibitobjects record represent?

Exhibit objects are a wrapper around a catalogue record (either an artefact/specimen/component that belongs to the Field Museum or one on loan from another institution). Its purpose is to keep track all of the specifics about the use of that artefact/specimen/component relative to an event (e.g. An exhibition).

The catalogue record is used to keep track of:

Long term maintenance,
Conservation,
Location,
Disposal

Note: A Component catalogue record represents things like mounts, panels, cases, crates

Each record represents an instance of a particular object’s inclusion in an exhibition. They are created for exhibit components e.g. Mounts, panels, cases, crates and for catalogued objects (see record types below).

The fields in Exhibition Objects module serve as an extension or “wrapper” around a catalog record to provide the fields needed to document its use in an exhibition. New exhibition object records are automatically generated when a catalog record is attached to the Objects tab of an Exhibition Event record.
