Sherman Clarke's classification cheat sheet from 1989 with various updates and not covered elsewhere: |
|---|
NA was previously preferred for works on buildings or building types. However, when LC or member copy classifies such material in the history/description schedules (e.g. D, E, F), accept these classifications. |
TA TR140 was preferred for works by or about individual photographers. We now follow LC practice (e.g. TR140 should be used for biographies of individual photographers, TR647 for exhibitions, and TR654/655 for non-exhibitions with slight biographical content). Note: A4 should no longer be used with the TR schedule. |
Works about individual artists are classed first by medium (e.g. sculpture, painting, printmaking) and second by nationality. Use general N class if the works contains more than one medium. |
City planning used to be classified in NAC and landscape architecture in NP. These classifications are no longer used. If a new edition arrives for an item previously classed in this area, the related edition should be classified/reclassified into HT, SB, etc. |
