----------------------------Original message---------------------------- Help Catalogers, et al.! Can someone point me towards an LC web site that will explain why the NH class was developed and what it means for the TR class? I searched through the LC space but did not have any luck. Still searching. The Cataloging Policy and Support Office's page http://lcweb.loc.gov/catdir/cpso/cpso.html#tools does not even list NH in its class. outline. It seems that most of our photo material is still coming in as TR's, but once in a while an NH slips in. Are any of you reclassifying all incoming NH's as TR's? Or are you permitting your stacks to develop two photography sections? Please note the following note from our tech. services dept. I would be very interested in hearing how your are handling this issue in your local collections. Regards, Peter Blank >Even on the original cataloging side ... the question >becomes complex.
