Peter,

You won't find any information about NH on any LC web site.  It is not an
authorized LC schedule.  Actually it was proposed by ARLIS/NA as an alternative
to TR.

You can find it on the ARLIS/NA Cataloging Section web site under : Other
Publications

           NH Classification for Photography An alternative classification
system to TR. 1974. 4
           pages. Paper. $1.50.

Here at the St. Louis Art Museum, we use NH for all of our Photography books
except technical works.  We catalog on RLIN and put the NH number in the LCAL
instead of an 050.  We have retrospectively reclassed our TR's into in NH.  But,
we're a small to medium collection, and have more control over our workflow than
many academic libraries.  Our curators love NH, it acts just like NC because it
uses the same table.

I've only seen a few others use the schedule.  We have many handwritten
annotations in our schedule, especially for special subjects.

Best,
Marianne Cavanaugh
Saint Louis Art Museum
