Abstract

The Library of Congress Prints and Photographs Division, and the Science Museum Pictorial Collection have both recently produced draft codes of rules for the cataloguing of visual materials based on AACR2. This paper provides an assessment and comparison of the two draft codes and concludes both that these codes show that AACR2 does provide a valuable base for building more detailed specialised rules upon, and that the codes provide valuable thinking which should be in-put into AACR3.
