Cataloging architectural objects

[LeRae Umfleet]

I am getting ready to start and independent study about cataloging architectural collections and I was wondering if anyone had any experience with cataloging and storing architectural materials. The collection has everything from tiny mortar samples and nails, to large pieces of wood and masonry. I am researching what other institutions (museums, historic sites, etc.) are doing in terms of cataloging and storing these types of items and determining the cost of materials to store said objects.

Any advice or ideas about where to look for information would be greatly appreciated! Thank you!
