The Nomenclature for Museum Cataloging website is the
most up-to-date version of the Nomenclature standard.
Since it was first published in 1978, and throughout
all the iterations since, Nomenclature has been improved
and expanded by inviting input from the museum community
it serves. The standard has been published in paper
format as follows:
- Nomenclature created by Robert G.
Chenhall in 1978
- Revised Nomenclature in 1988
- Nomenclature 3.0 in 2010
- Nomenclature 4.0 in 2015
The Nomenclature for Museum Cataloging website (launched
in 2018) is a collaborative
project which includes:
- all of Nomenclature 4.0;
- harmonized data and images from the Parks
Canada Descriptive and Visual Dictionary of Objects
(This includes French equivalents to Nomenclature
terms, illustrations, bibliographic data and more.
Parks Canada and the American Association for
State and Local History [AASLH] agreed to
harmonize their two standards in order to promote
standardized cataloging practices throughout both
countries. Nomenclature replaces the online version
of the Parks Canada Descriptive and Visual
Dictionary of Objects);
- French equivalents for all of Nomenclature,
including categories, classes, sub-classes (and
definitions of each) and terms; and
- Canadian spelling for some English terms, as
alternatives to the U.S. spelling.
Nomenclature continues to be developed and maintained
by the Nomenclature Task Force, with updates being
performed directly within the system. Nomenclature is a
living standard that will evolve to meet the needs of
its users.
Individual or institutional users are able to propose
additions or changes, using the term
submission forms found on the Nomenclature
Community website. The Nomenclature Task Force also
welcomes groups of subject experts within particular
disciplines to work together with the Task Force to
develop or improve Nomenclature.
