Following, as we have a large amount of fabric scraps in our collection from dressmaking and other textile crafts. In 3.0, I classified them Tools and Equipment for Materials / Textile Tools and Equipment / Needleworking Equipment / Fabric / Fabric, Scrap. Doesn't look like that's an option in 4.0.

Greetings,

I am currently attempting to resolve the "unclassified object names" found in PastPerfect before the annual updating of our online collections database.  Some of them were easy to resolve, but there are some difficulties with Nomenclature 4.0 in that it does not seem to have specific entries for archaeological and natural history items.  However, I need help with something specific.  My museum's collection includes a variety of cloth scraps and fragments, whose purpose is at present unknown due to the unacceptable registration methods used by the directors back in the 1960s and 1970s.  What should I use from Nomenclature 4.0 to classify it?  They are currently in the catalog as "Cloth Fragment" and "Lace Fragment".  Category 10: Unclassifiable Objects does have "Fragment" and "Sample, Material", but would those be appropriate for fabric specimens and bolts of linen?

Thank you,

Michael R.
