I would like to focus on the application issue concerning race.  Does anyone
utilize the Thesaurus for Graphic Materials 1 for the purpose of providing
subject access to photographs?  The thesaurus states that "proper names for
ethnic, racial, and regional groups are taken from the Library of Congress
Subject Headings."

Are any museum people applying this thesaurus in their cataloging?
