I wouldn't be surprised to find a finger licking good piece of something (now unidentifiable) in a Time Capsule at some point... :) However, Julie does bring up an issue I've been dealing with. We have lots of items in the Archives that the AAT doesn't currently have terms for (vibrators, prescription drugs, ketchup and mustard packets, cigarettes) not to mention subjects (drag queens, transvestites, etc.) Are they very many people out there in TMS land, attempting to do subject cataloguing on their collection? I'm curious. How successful/unsuccessful has it been using the AAT to find appropriate terms?

It is a 17th century Dutch painting, depicting various poultry. Or, all the works we have which depict a horse.

When searching for Horse, all I found for the single term 'horse' was a piece of equipment: framework functioning as a temporary support. When searching for chicken, all I found were chicken related pieces, such as a chicken coup. But nothing that refers to poultry, foul, bird or hen. Am I missing the 'animal' section somewhere? Or, I am trying to get something out of the AAT that does not exist.
