Using barcodes

[Silvia Manrique]

I am the volunteer collections manager at a small, volunteer-run, historic house. The house’s collection is completely un-cataloged and un-numbered. I am working on inventorying and cataloging everything. The director of the house is interested in possibly using bar codes to label objects. I do not have any experience using bar codes and was wondering if anyone uses them in their collection and what are the pros and cons?
