典藏編號──以國立台灣文學館為例

Collection Marking in National Museum of Taiwan Literature

博物館的文物整理工作是一件非常繁瑣的作業，為了記錄正確的資訊，往往必須耐著性子逐一按序進行，這其中又以編號為先。編號又以編碼的組成方式及標紀方式為主要必須加以規範之處。各博物館必須以其藏品屬性訂定其館內編號作業的依據，才能有效掌握編號作業的一致性、統一性與延續性。事實上，在編號實例中，往往會遇到一些無法從規範中找到適用準則的例外狀況，而必須個案處理。在台文館編號實務中就曾出現過二種狀況，其一是在編號時，發現實體數量與號碼數不一致，其二是在一批已完成取得作業程序的文學文物中，另外出現夾件的狀況。實際編號過程中，重要的是實體的管理與內容詮釋的個體必須能夠兼顧，才能讓藏品的價值活化，成為具有意涵的實體，可以充份為展示、研究之用。同時也必須掌握編號藏品所屬入館批次的正確性與合法性，以確保管理與應用無虞。

Collection arrangement is a long-term process in museums, and it needs lots of patience to deal with. Following the rules that regulate the numbering system and the way of encoding, marking is the first step of the long-term process. Moreover, a museum has to build up its own marking rules based on the characteristics of collections to make marking process consistently. However, there are some exceptions that couldn't fit to the rules and have to be handled individually. This article introduces the marking rules of the National Museum of Taiwan Literature and two examples of exception founded during the process of marking. One is that the quantity of physical objects doesn't match the marking number, and the other is that unexpected object founded in the accessioned collections. For future exhibit and research, the author thinks that it is important to take management of physical objects and interpretation of intellectual content into considerations while marking collections.
