Catalog an object

Open **Museums & Collections** at /museum. On the **Collection** tab, click **+ New object** and fill in the title (required), accession number (e.g. 1979.42.3), maker, date, classification, and medium. Save and the object is accessioned into your collection.

Each object is a canonical record: its provenance, conservation, condition, and loan history live on the object and follow it if ownership ever moves. Click any object card to open its full dossier.

Define your storage and gallery **Locations** in the section below the grid, then assign objects to them — the Registrar board (/registrar) groups by location for fast rounds.

Want a quick read on the whole collection — counts by status, what's on loan, which objects have flagged provenance gaps? Just ask Wally for a collection summary.
