Following the 20 processing steps are 14 sample catalog cards showing: (1) the back and front of a work card; (2) main entry cards; and (3) a card set, including author, title, subtitle, subject, and series; and (4) a shelf list card among others.

Download or read book Cataloguing Culture written by Hannah Turner and published by UBC Press. This book was released on 2020-07-15 with total page 261 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How does material culture become data? Why does this matter, and for whom? As the cultures of Indigenous peoples in North America were mined for scientific knowledge, years of organizing, classifying, and cataloguing hardened into accepted categories, naming conventions, and tribal affiliations – much of it wrong. Cataloguing Culture examines how colonialism has operated through the technologies of museum bureaucracy: the ledger book, the card catalogue, and eventually the database. As Indigenous communities reclaim what is theirs, this timely work shines a light on the importance of documentation for access to and return of cultural heritage.
