Hello,

     I'm hoping a fellow librarian or curator might be able to
help me identify a classification system.  Our architecture library
uses a classification system to arrange our architecture slide
collection.

     The system was set up a long, long time ago by someone
who's no longer with us.  I don't think it was a homemade
system; I suspect it was copied from someone else.  But,
in looking through the literature on slide classication
systems, I'm not able to recognize it.

    I'm hoping someone on this list might recognize the system
we're using.  What is the name of the system?  Where/by whom
was it developed?  When?  Who else/what other libraries
are using it?  And, what literature might be available on
the system (new schedules for, pros and cons of, software
for, etc.).

     Any given slide might have a call number that looks
like this:  A190.1-LONho

    The first letter is the main class (see list of main
classes below).  The following number is the sub-class.
After the dash is three letters in caps that represent
the location or designer (in the example above, LON is for
London) and then two lowercase letters for the title.

    The main class scheme is:

A:  Architecture

B:  Building construction

C:  City and human environment

D:  Design concepts

L:  Landscape design

M:  Minor arts and industrial design
  MA:  Graphics
  MB:  Textiles
    MBB:  Wallpaper
    MBC:  Fashion design
    MBD:  Leatherwork
  MC:  Furniture
  MD:  Photography
  MEA:  Caligraphy
  MF:  Vehicles
    MFA:  Land vehicles
    MFB:  Water vehicles
    MFC:  Air vehicles
  MG:  Ceramics and glassware
  MH:  Machinery
  MJ:  Recreational equipment
    MJA:  Toys
    MJB:  Sports equipment
  MK:  Metalwork and jewelry
    MKA:  Jewelry
    MKB:  Precious metals
    MKC:  Ironwork
    MKD:  Misc. metals
    MKE:  Coins and medalions
  ML:  Household objects
  MN:  Musical and scientific equipment
  MN:  Misc. objects
  MO:  Mosaics

N:  Natural environment

P:  Painting

S:  Sculpture

    Most of our collection is in the A:  Architecture class.
That is further subdivided like:

ANTIQUITY
A1:  Prehistoric
A2:  Precolumbian
A3:  Egyptian
A4:  Ancient Near East
A5:  Aegean
A6:  Greek
A7:  Etruscan
A8:  Roman
A9:  Ancient Europe

MEDIEVAL
A10-29:  Early Christian
A30-49:  Byzantine
A50-69:  Pre-Roman
A70-89:  Romaneque
A90-109:  Gothic

RENAISSANCE to NINETEEN CENTURY
A110-129:  Renaissance
A130-149:  Baroque-Rococo
A170-189:  Nineteenth Century

MODERN
A190:  Twentieth century

etc., etc., etc.

     Does this sound familiar to anyone?  Thanks in advance
for the assistance.
