[Genealib] Cataloging Genealogy Materials

[Larry Naukam]

We here in Rochester have a double filing system - one for G which is
Genealogy, and for R which is (Rochester) local history. Each one goes 000
to 999.

 

That's not too bad, although the patrons do ask about it. What is really
weird is that the catalogers (over the years) have arbitrarily decided what
is local and what is not, so that New England materials are in the G section
even if they are historical in nature, while Westchester County in NY which
is 400 plus miles from us, is in the Local section.

 

No jury in the world..
