Hey everyone!

My name is Amanda Acosta and I am a second-semester student in my MLIS
program at UMD. This will be my first post to the server!

Recently I started as the Archives and Special Collections Intern at a
Baltimore university library. I've been tasked with cataloging a former
professor's photographs in ArchivesSpace. There are already photography
collections in the repository but this project may be a little bit more
extensive in that it may result in new best practices for cataloging art
objects.

I've been checking out photography collections in ArchivesSpace from other
institutions as well as Getty resources for CDWA and crosswalking between
CDWA and DACS. Most likely we would maintain the description rules as DACS
so I'm wondering if anyone has any best practices or policies they would be
willing to share for cataloging art objects using DACS with a mindfulness
towards fulfilling the core elements of CDWA? Any assistance is greatly
appreciated!

Thanks,
Amanda
