People Centred Cataloguing
Kathleen Lawther has kindly agreed to share her Collections Trust Award Winning resource on People Centred Cataloguing. The resource was created as part of an Art Fund Headley Fellowship with the Powell-Cotton Museum in 2022. Kathleen explains the approach she took to document a collection of photographs taken in Somalia during the 1930s. The publication includes suggestions and case studies for how museums might take a more people centred approach to their collections documentation work.
Although MEG was not directly involved in this resource we are happy to share it as part of our ongoing commitment to supporting best practice in the sector.
