Hello all - 

 

For some reason I thought a Friday afternoon was a good time to wrestle with
a couple questions in our Classification scheme. (We don't follow one
particular scheme as no single solution seemed to fit our collection, but
created our own, based on various authorities like AAT.)

Anyway, my main question relates to the "relics" in the collection, not the
religious kind as defined by AAT, but as I'm defining them "Fragments of
objects or items relating to historical persons, places or events."

Does anyone have a good place for these types of Relics in their
Classifications? Or even another term that might fit them better? 

 

I've got a temporary solution, but am looking for something that will make
sense long term. 

Thanks for any suggestions!

 

Diane.
