Hi, Margaret! The Portland Art Museum has been doing materials, subject, geographic, etc. layers of cataloging on our collection for about five years, using a combination of AAT, TGN, Iconclass, and home-grown thesauri. I'd be happy to chat with you!

One priority is tagging the collection for context (style, art movement, etc), material (wood, metal, etc) and other useful searchable terms. We'd like to learn from other institutions who have recently embarked on such a project. If you have undertaken a tagging project and would be available to answer a few questions of from our registration team, please be in touch. Thanks!
