Make a Plain Photo Inventory Naming System

NOTE 01

Set a clear starting point

Assign a short reference to each actual item and note it in the written inventory. Keep personal identifiers and private purchase details out of public file names.

NOTE 02

Keep the facts together

Take plain recognizable photos on suitable surfaces with private contents removed. Keep brooch clasps closed and fabrics arranged as objects rather than a human form.

NOTE 03

Make the record practical

Name or organize the references consistently by item code and date. Add front or detail labels only when they help distinguish useful views.

NOTE 04

Review and update

Test finding an image from the written record and correct unclear links. A photograph is an identification aid, not a valuation or proof of complete condition.
