Cataloging Cultural Objects
Cataloging Cultural Objects: A Guide to Describing Cultural Works and Their Images is a project of the Visual Resources Association.
CCO provides guidelines for selecting, ordering, and formatting data used to populate catalog records. CCO is designed to promote good descriptive cataloging, shared documentation, and enhanced end-user access. Whether used locally to develop training manuals, or universally as a guide to building consistent cultural heritage documentation in a shared environment, CCO will contribute to improved documentation and enhanced access to cultural heritage information.The CCO Project team would like your comments on the chapters that are available. Your feedback is needed to ensure that the CCO guide will be a useful cataloguing tool for the community.
