I would like to get an idea of who out there has found a way to manage multiple versions of a single object in their collections. No so much multiple examples of the same object, rather versions of the same one. As our photographs collection has built up over the last 100 odd years, a variety of versions have been created of the one object for preservation, access and other reasons. However we tend to have the "one catalogue record to rule them all", which sadly does not truly reflect our holdings. There are a number of ideas being put forward, but it would be great to hear how other institutions have/haven't tackled this issue, especially in regard to how you represent these versions in your CMS (we have XG). Thanks Emma
