Two students from the Student Center Superior School of Museology, are working on cataloging the Mobile Museum Quarter Refinery. E s a pilot project to test major cataloging in the future, especially for developing criteria of accessibility of museum material.
This museum was formed by the selfless donation of old objects in the neighborhood and the refinery Argentina, photos, railroad and manufacturing remains, newspapers, magazines and publications for this sector of the city. He has made more than fifty exhibitions and cultural interest is declared, both by the Municipality of Rosario as the City Council. Has received grants for work and is currently pending legal status.
has no headquarters or permanent display, but samples that are being made to various places in the 
city, especially in local schools. has a place to run your shell, Velez Sarsfield Street to 500, where the tasks are developed.
often providing material for researchers and students annually organizes a conference of historians and chroniclers neighborhood, and a meeting of historians bimonthly neighborhood, with free theme. In these activities has the sponsorship and cooperation of the Cultural Center Cinema Lumiere. You can see her blog at http://museorefineria.blogspot.com/ and there see the articles and its activities. The collection has many problems of conservation and above all, they know how many objects had, as its popular character, donations are very common, and just kept the objects in mutual funds.
Thus, the same museum "know" the material he had. Many objects were stored in a hurry, and while they are in good Condic 
ions were not utlizando or studied, staying in their boxes waiting for their "DISCOVERY." This happened, for example, an employee's work papers tramway in 1923, colonial coins, tin soldiers, several papers and many magazines, objects, as they were donated by their former owners, were deposited in boxes for basic maintenance, and only briefly labeled. The condition of the people, and being attended voluntarily by residents of the neighborhood, makes the time you can spend very little.
Following this, we decided to order the property, calling him, with the help of students of museology.
The students and Anabela Maria Laura Yann Rivolta are responsible for this tedious task. Coordination was made by Jorge Bernasani, Gustavo Fernetti, and Angela Tasca.
The work itself is marking objects in the collection, cataloging journalistic and graphic material, consisting of magazines and books, and essential design especially alphanumeric cataloging system .
In this paper, we gave priority to collections, which are full donations from neighbors, as is the case file papers a resident of the neighborhood English instruments of a barber shop and disappeared, a group of fifty magazines Faces and Masks, a complete collection of letters, another complex of postcards of all kinds, and an unspecified number of toys, photographs, coins, papers and drawings of the neighborhood. They are very numerous magazine s of the 60 to 7 0, and sequences of journals relating to the Falklands War and the years of military process. Some items are unique, such as a copy of the 1916 ballot for the first vote under the law Sáenz Peña, flyers Montoneros among other "oddities." collections generated from non-traditional collectors, but from the stories of life, so it is important to preserve as representative units.
was imperative to refer both cataloging the collection to the individual number of the object and the material, its characteristics.
The way to catalog the collection was designed giving priority rather than a pure sequential numbering, and was to give the group number of items donated jointly, then each component of the collection. Avoided and dismember each library, while easy to find the object in the tank and the list of accessibility.
Each subject was classified by numbers and letters also key that would allow a group "virtual" object type, by date, by collection or quantity.
marking methodology was to continue taking steps to conservation, dividing objects into type materials: wood, metal, glass, ceramics, fabric and paper. Given the characteristics of objects, almost all of daily use, could establish in this way, and by only three marking materials and ink, marking was achieved stable, secure and fast. This has been outlined by layers of marking, which were performed by simple technique of brush and pen. The three types of markings correspond to objects of metal, glass and ceramic and wood, changing only the base primer.
For marking on bare metal undecorated, like the buried objects, tools, and all objects of iron, bronze, aluminum, iron, etc., do not resent decorations added. You choose to place a label of white acrylic as the only primer on it is written, the catalog number and "protects all nitrocellulose lacquer (nail polish).
The method for glass and ceramics, is to apply a primer coating to apply the acrylic course, the number and finally the protection. the primer because the acrylic bounces on glazes.
For raw wood, painted or decorated objects with golden application, we chose a primer "soft" PVA, and then repeat the procedimento, but in this case the protection should not exceed conjtorno primer. This is justified because it is less adherent imprimavción the lacquer objects composed of fibers or may desprendimento, besides not penetrate the surface, which occurs with the solvent of nitrocellulose.
The three types of markings are easily reversible with water, alcohol or acetone, according to each material, indicating the alcohol as the least aggressive in general. By "washing" the markup in case of restoration, for example, líuido d elav takes the "whole package", which is anchored in the primer, which is squeezed contact with the surface of the object.
The numbering scheme was formed by a complex symbol.
We give an example catalog number:
MBR-J-1-022
For this example, the first code is identificatory MBR museum and secure your property, the second J , the type "toys." The first number 1 refers to the collection that owns the object, which is defined with the last number 022. In case of composite objects, or repeated, adding more code numbers at the end separated by a hyphen or slash, respectively.
material Dial was the most "neutral" as possible. To do this, put a primer, and this is applied a label of quality acrylic paint White and polymerized pigments dissolved in PVA). On this layer opaque, was labeled the number encryption, which is covered for protection with PVA or enamel again. Catalog numbers are located in parts barely visible, although the target was chosen for its ubiación posiblitar in the piece. It was invisible to balance the appreciation in EXHIBITIONS, highly visible for the documentation. Only if specific objects, where it was impossible to "hide" the number, we chose a color label dark. photos, magazines and postcards marked the pencil on the back, or kept in transparent envelopes, as done in the case of coins. While
are marked objects simultaneously drawing up an EXCEL spreadsheet temporary basis, to use more advanced programs on future occasions. Gone are turning to more content forms such as material characteristics, data, status, etc..
All items, whether books, magazines, photos, or three-dimensional objects, follow the same documentation, grouped by collection and property. It documents about 20 items per day of 4 hours once a week, or sixty magazines, this does mean waiting a period of ten weeks to catalog the entire collection, which is estimated at about 1000 objects of all kinds.
This work is very useful for the museum because it captures what their heritage, so you can easily dispose of it, both by those in charge of the museum as for residents and researchers.
dialing techniques were performed according to the criterion of Ms. Pauline Harari and Ms. Olga Nahem SF Sanchez de la Vega, in his work Museologists MARKING OF OBJECTS - UPDATE, published in the Second National Meeting of Museum Directors (ENADIM), Ministry of Culture of the Nation. National Directorate of Museums. Paraná, December 1985. To see the work of these authors, go to page:
certificates were given the survey done in the Rowers Club Alberdi, in 2008. 
Another question: How is this object? What operation "mechanics" had to do to make it?
