Make & keep

Catalogue a strip with a missing frame

Show the gap without inventing a replacement portrait.

A cut or damaged strip may no longer contain its original full sequence.

Record the surviving object

Capture every surviving fragment with identifiers and an overall arrangement photograph. Describe where a gap appears and what evidence supports the proposed order. Do not assume that four portraits were originally present just because many familiar booths produce four-frame strips. Keep fragments safely associated without sticking them together.

Evidence: Preservation guidance

Label an access reconstruction

If arranging copies digitally, explain which positions are inferred. Leave a visible gap where appropriate and retain the fragment captures. A presentation version can help people understand the collection, but it should not become the only record of what actually survives.
