Cataloguer Remarks (Cataloguing)Definition:
- This field contains remarks by the individual(s) who documented the object.
Observation:- Remarks fields are used to enter information that does not belong in any other field.
ExampleThe donor of a basket, acquired in 1929, mentioned that the object
was from the Baulé culture. More in-depth research proved that he
was mistaken. | Object Name | basket |
---|
| Culture | unknown |
---|
| Cataloguer Remarks | Despite the information provided by the donor in 1929, this basket is not from the Baulé culture. |

Entry rules:- Note the information clearly, concisely and consistently.
- To keep an audit trail of this field, enter the cataloguer's initials in parentheses after each remark.
ExampleA ceremonial belt was documented by Lucy Bell on November 9,
1990 and by Monique Savoie on April 24, 1992. Each one entered a
remark in the Cataloguer Remarks field.
