Thank you everyone for your thoughtful, and helpful, replies. I think I'm on the right track with date, room # and trap #. I have started maps with locations marked, and I will work with conservators to keep the number of traps enough to be effective without over saturation.
One suggestion I was given in talking to someone here is, for institutions with many traps, type them up and print on mailing labels. That could save some time hand writing, and easy to print out later when traps get replaced.
