Descriptive and visual dictionary of objects : based on the Parks Canada Classification System for Historical Collections / under the direction of Louise Bernard, Rosemary Campbell, Richard Gauthier and... : R62-299/1997E-PDF
"As custodian and manager of the national collection of historic objects and reproductions, Parks Canada has developed tools to provide enhanced management of its artifacts and thus a more effective fulfillment of its mandate: to safeguard and promote Canada's heritage. One of these tools is the Artifact Information System (AIS), which is highly effective in providing rapid automated access to the full national collection. Parks Canada began by developing a classification system based on an object's original function, drawing on the nomenclature of Robert G. Chenhall. In 1992, this led to the publication of the Canadian Parks Service Classification System for Historical Collections. The first volume of the Dictionary applies an ethnographic perspective to the objects from the first three categories: housing and its components, the domestic interior (furniture, lighting, heating, etc.), as well as clothing and personal accessories. This volume also includes two complementary reference tools: a codified bibliography and a bilingual index of terms"--Summary, page xv.
