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
-

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.
