我國公立博物館對於如何以物件原始紀錄，作為評估徵集、展示詮釋或保存維護之基準，似乎並無太多的重視。有鑑於此，本文透過文獻資料的蒐羅與探討。首先，聚焦於物件原始記錄對博物館有何重要意涵，並試圖闡明全方位物件原始紀錄應涵蓋的項目及範圍。再者，列舉經由溯源建置與科學驗證物件原始紀錄，進而影響分類定名、展示研究、典藏價值之國內公立博物館範例。最後，個案研究則以國立故宮博物院（以下簡稱故宮）展示與詮釋「博愛」銅鼎為例。希望讀者能從文獻探討與個案研究之相互參照中，發現我國公立博物館的確應該積極正視物件原始記錄的重要性。

The concept of utilizing original records as the bases for evaluating the acquisition, exhibition, curation or preservation of objects did not seem to draw much attention in Taiwan’s public museums. Therefore this study aims to contribute to follow-up discussions by gathering, reviewing and analyzing the relevant literature. First, this article will attempt to elucidate the meaningful content, issues and coverage within original object records in museum management. Second, specific practices of Taiwan’s public museums will be presented as related examples whose categorization, designation, display, research as well as collection value have been influenced by traceability establishment and scientific examination of original object records. Third, the presentation and interpretation of “Bo'ai Ding”, a memorial cauldron installed in the National Palace Museum, will be introduced and investigated as the primary subject matter. And conclusively, through cross comparison of cases and exploration of literature reviews, the main expectation is to enhance awareness about the importance of original object records in Taiwan’s public museums.
