Why does this matter, and for whom? As the cultures of Indigenous peoples in North America were mined for scientific knowledge, years of organizing, classifying, and cataloguing--hardened into accepted categories, naming conventions, and tribal affiliations --much of it wrong. Cataloguing Culture examines how colonialism operates in museum bureaucracies. Using the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History as her reference, Hannah Turner organizes her study by the technologies framing museum work over 200 years: field records, the ledger, the card catalogue, the punch card, and eventually the database. She examines how categories were applied to ethnographic material culture and became routine throughout federal collecting institutions. As Indigenous communities encounter the documentary traces of imperialism while attempting to reclaim what is theirs, this timely work shines a light on access to and return of cultural heritage."-- $c Provided by publisher. 504 $a Includes bibliographical references (pages 216-227) and index. 505 0 $a Introduction: "The making of specimens eloquent" -- Writing desiderata : defining evidence in the field -- On the margins : paper systems of classification -- Ordering devices and Indian files : cataloguing ethnographic specimens -- Pragmatic classification : the routine work of description after 1950 -- Object, specimen, data : computerization and the legacy of dirty data -- Conclusion: A museum data legacy for the future. 610 20 $a National Museum of Natural History (U.S.) $v Case studies. 610 27 $a National Museum of Natural History (U.S.) $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00528243 650 0 $a Cataloging of archival materials $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Cataloging of special collections in libraries $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Museums $x Collection management $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Ethnological museums and collections $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Indians of North America $x Material culture $v Case studies. 650 0 $a Museums and Indians $v Case studies. 650 7 $a Cataloging of special collections in libraries. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00848816 650 7 $a Cataloging of archival materials. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01727821 650 7 $a Ethnological museums and collections. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00916097 650 7 $a Indians of North America $x Material culture. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst00969831 650 7 $a Museums and Indians. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030213 650 7 $a Museums $x Collection management. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01030143 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 fast $0 (OCoLC)fst01423765 655 7 $a Case studies. $2 lcgft 776 08 $i Online version: $a Turner, Hannah, 1986- $t Cataloguing culture legacies of colonialism in museum documentation. $d Vancouver ; Toronto : UBC Press, 2020 $z 9780774863940 $z 9780774863940 $w (OCoLC)1145277877 941 $a 1 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20231117015649.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=3DF055D6072811ED93C2E7E557ECA4DBInitiate Another SILO Locator Search
