Here are the specifics:

Chenhall, Robert G. "Nomenclature for Museum Cataloging. A System for
Classifying Man-Made Objects". Nashville, TN: American Association for
State and Local History (AASLH), 1978.


>    Regarding terminology:
>
>    In the 70s a man by the name of Chenall (I think that's how you
>    spell it) created a book of museum nominclature--it was not
>    exhaustive (although that was the goal)  however, it was very
>    good.  I became familiar with it when I worked at the Whatcom
>    Museum in Washington State.  If you like, call Jan Olsen, curator
>    of collection at the Whatcom (360) 676-6981.
