Fellow Museum Professional(s):
Since its inception in 1978 many of us have come to use Chenall's Nomenclature to categorize and organize our museum collections. Now in its third edition, the Nomenclature Task Force of AASLH is preparing to undertake a project to release Nomenclature 4.0, but we can't do it without your input and help! We are asking you, as the frontline of museum collections, to recommend new terms, alternative categories for objects, and new definitions of objects. It's easy to do and won't take but a few minutes and can all be done online. If you go to this link: (http://community.aaslh.org/nomenclature-submissions/) you can choose the best option for what you'd like to submit and add information to the form, provide us with your contact information in case we have any questions or need to follow up with you, hit submit and you're all done. It's that easy! We are open to any suggestions you have and rest assured we give thought to each and every recommendation sent in to us. 
 
If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly and I will try to answer your question(s) myself or share them with the Task Force to address them. 
 
Thank you for your help and your time!
 
John
