Developing an Ethnographic Lexicon
Description:
In this presentation, Isabel Tovar, Associate Registrar at the Denver Art Museum and Amy Heggemeyer, Assistant Registrar at the Spurlock Museum, look at the development of a common ethnographic lexicon that may be used in tandem with pre-existing lexicons like Nomenclature, the Getty Thesauri, and the National Park Service classification systems. This session was part of the 2015 ATALM annual conference held in Washington, DC on September 9-12, 2015.
