Cataloging
The Visual Media Collection uses a local system to organize and file our slides and digital media. The slide drawers are divided into broad catagories by media. The media catagories are then broken down into time periods and the time periods. The time periods are then divided by country. The major catagories are as follows. Further catagorization information specific to non-western and ancient art can be found by clicking on the links to the left.
