Artifact Identification Tags – Acid-Free Archival Tags
Label and identify artifacts or specimens with durable, acid-free identification tags designed for long-term archival use. Made from lignin-free stock, these tags ensure safe labeling without risk of deterioration. When an artifact can't be marked directly, an archival identification tag offers a safe alternative. These acid-free tags make it easy to record accession numbers and collection details while keeping valuable objects clearly identified throughout storage, handling, or exhibition preparation.
Good cataloguing starts with clear identification. When artifacts move between storage, examination, conservation, or exhibition, keeping the right information with each object is just as important as protecting the object itself. These acid-free identification tags provide space for accession numbers and collection details without relying on adhesive labels or direct marking. Made from archival-quality tag stock with a durable string attachment, they're a dependable choice for museums, archives, and special collections that need an identification method intended to remain with the object throughout its lifecycle.

-
Why use identification tags instead of labelling an artifact directly?
Many artifacts have surfaces that should not be written on, marked, or exposed to adhesives. Identification tags provide a way to keep accession numbers and collection details with the object without applying anything directly to it.
-
What information can be written on artifact identification tags?
Collection staff typically use them for accession numbers, object IDs, catalogue references, storage details, and other notes needed during handling and record keeping.
-
Are these tags suitable for long-term museum storage?
Yes. The acid-free, lignin-free tag stock makes them suitable for collections where materials need to remain stable during long-term storage and handling.
-
What types of objects can these tags be used with?
They can be used with a wide range of collection items, including textiles, specimens, archaeological materials, decorative objects, and other artifacts that require careful identification.
-
Can these tags be removed and reused during collection work?
They are mainly intended to stay attached to the item they identify. However, they can be moved or replaced when collection information changes or during reprocessing work.
