Hi Sheila:

Upon re-reading your posting, I see that it is for the museum collections that you are asking about thesauri, not for the library collections. I’m sorry I replied too quickly—probably because I am still interested in thesauri. If your registrar has not already inquired of the Association of Registrars and Collections or the Museum Registrars Committee of the AAM, that is what I would recommend. I believe that the AAT has been adopted by some museum registrars, but there may be something else that is the “industry standard” for registrars. It would still be a good idea to talk to the Getty Vocabularies staff about this.

Dear Collective Wisdom,

I need your advice. Our museum is thinking of purchasing access to a thesaurus or thesaurii that will be used when entering our object collection into a database. I know of the Getty thesaurii, but I am not sure if there are any others out there that are used, and is there one that is the "industry standard" - like LOC to us catalogers?
