Cataloguing tips

We recommend the hierarchy from the Getty Thesaurus of Geographic Names. You should separate continent, country, region, and place with commas.

Examples

  • Oceania, New Zealand, South Island, Southland, Mataura

  • Oceania, Australia, New South Wales, Sydney, Manly

  • Europe, United Kingdom, England, Middlesex, London, Kensington

  • North and Central America, United States, Ohio, Cincinnatti

  • North and Central America, Paraguay

Continents are useful to include. A researcher may want to find all the objects in your collection made in Oceania, or Europe. Without including continents, this would be impossible.
