Terminology Initiatives at the National Army Museum, London
The National Army Museum (NAM) has developed a number of term lists for its own in-house use, grouped according to the disciplines which correspond to the five curatorial departments in the museum:
- Archives, photographs, film and sound records;
- Books;
- Fine and decorative art;
- Uniforms, badges and medals;
- Weapons, equipment and vehicles.
They are made available free in printed form in order to encourage a standard approach to the documentation of military collections. Staff from the NAM are also involved in the work of the Terminology Sub-Group of the Museums Weapons Group.
