The American Association for State and Local History is pleased to present this online community hub for users of Nomenclature 3.0, a hierarchically organized list of object terms used for the cataloging of museum objects. This resource is moderated by an ongoing Nomenclature Committee selected by AALSH to promote and assist with the adoption of Nomenclature 3.0 and to keep Nomenclature a dynamic industry standard, responsive to the needs of the profession.

Use this site to learn about Nomenclature 3.0, share news and ask advice, and submit your own proposals for additions and changes for future editions.

The introduction of the book, Nomenclature 3.0, outlines how the new Nomenclature can be used in cataloging and explains many of the new conventions for its use. Click here for an excerpt from and the table of contents for the introduction.
