The Community Archives and Heritage Group (CAHG) has developed a set of cataloguing guidelines for community archives.
Professional cataloguing standards can be somewhat intimidating for non-archivists, so the guidelines offer a minimal standard for cataloguing that aims to be realistic and user-friendly. We have tried to keep the guidance short and simple.
If you follow these guidelines, the records kept by your heritage project will be consistent with existing widely-used professional catalogue standards.
You can download a copy of the guidelines free of charge, but we ask you to complete the download form first (though this is optional).
