Start with collection labels, transfer notes and the public catalog index. It is the source used to decide how a public collection distinguishes what is known from what is attributed later; it is not the decision itself. The rule only works if the source describes conditions at the city collection room at North Veil Museum.
Known: the current file counts 81 objects with a dated transfer and a named source, compared with 86 in the prior window. The clerk matches the current rule to the dated amendment and public notice. The entries have dates and a named clerk.
Disputed: Curators say the label describes the accepted history. Researchers ask that the earlier source note remain attached. One side emphasizes the posted total; the other points to one object was catalogued before its transfer note was copied.
Why it matters: the decision determines which residents can rely on the service and which staff must carry out the change. The file does not settle that by itself.
Next: The Year third, late winter window 2 file remains open for its scheduled decision. The museum will publish the label and transfer note as separate linked records.
