Cataloging Photographs for Librarians and Archivists: A Review of 
Current Standards and Best Practics

June 27, 2009
9:00 am to 5:00 pm
Simmons College -- One Palace Road Building
$220 ($175 for Simmons GSLIS Alumni)
PDPs: 7

We will work through a review of the major emerging standards for the 
online description of historic photographs, using hands-on examples. We 
will focus on data structure standards such as the Dublin Core and VRA 
3.0, content standards such as the new CCO (Cataloging Cultural 
Objects), DACS, and Graphic Materials, and data value standards such as 
the Art and Architecture Thesaurus, and the Thesaurus for Graphic 
Materials. We will discuss collection-level description, item-level 
description, and traditional finding aids.

Faculty: Martha Mahard, Adjunct Faculty, Graduate School of Library and 
Information Science, Simmons College. Martha has been teaching the 
Management of Photographic Archives course at Simmons GSLIS for more 
than 12 years, and chaired the initial efforts to develop Harvard's 
OLIVIA cataloging system and the union catalog of visual materials, VIA;
