The Executive Board of the Visual Resources Association is pleased to
announce that it has received two grants from the Getty Grant Program and
the Digital Library Federation to support the development of a guide to
good practice for cataloging cultural objects and their images.
This project will review and evaluate existing data content standards and
current practice in order to compile a manual that may be used to describe,
document, and catalog cultural objects and their visual surrogates. A full
description of the proposed project can be found at
http://php.indiana.edu/%7Efryp/guidelines.html. An advisory board
comprised of members of the wider cultural heritage community will be
formed to assist in the project.
The development of the guidelines follows upon the work of the Visual
Resources Association Data Standards Committee's development of the Core
Categories, and will further enhance the use of the Core.
