2. THREE-
DIMENSIONAL
OBJECTS

3. Realia
Three-dimensional objects from real life, whether
man-made (artifacts, tools, utensils, etc.) or naturally
occurring (specimens, samples, etc.), usually
borrowed, purchased, or received as gifts by a library
for use in classroom instruction or in exhibits.
Archival and manuscript collections often receive
items of memorabilia such as jewelry, leather goods,
needlework, etc., in connection with gifts of personal
papers (see this example). In AACR2, the term is
added inside square brackets [realia] as a general
material designation following the title proper in the
bibliographic description. Compare with replica.

4. 
the description of three-dimensional objects
of all kinds (other than those covered in
previous chapters), including models,
dioramas, games (including puzzles and
simulations), braille cassettes, sculptures and
other three-dimensional art works, exhibits,
machines, and clothing. They also cover the
description of naturally occurring objects,
including microscope specimens (or
representations of them) and other specimens
mounted for viewing.

5. Definition

Objects, artifacts, and three-dimensional
works of visual art encountered in archives,
galleries, and museums (medals and badges,
physical evidence from legal archives, some
works of art).

a three-dimensional (3-D) object is a human-
made artifact, replica of an artifact, or
naturally occurring entity that can be
measured in terms of height, width, and
depth.

6. 
the use of three-dimensional (3-D) data is
becoming increasingly popular

Conservation staff decided to house the
objects first by individual submission from a
particular event, then by state. Individual
boxes or fitted enclosures were created for
each item or small groups of similar items.
These individual boxes or fitted enclosures
were then housed in standard sized “exterior
boxes” using care to fill void spaces. Where
feasible, the Conservation staff created
standard enclosures for recurring types of 3-D
objects, examples of which include T-shirts,
baseball caps, and buttons and pins.

7. Original cataloging of three dimensional
objects will be in accordance with the latest
revision of Anglo-American Cataloguing
Rules, 2nd ed., commonly known as AACR2,
as interpreted by the Library of Congress rule
interpretations, both of which are available
online through Cataloger's Desktop. This
document will highlight some key concepts
found in chapter 10 of AACR2, and will
provide guidance with some minor details
often overlooked, or difficult to find, within
the rules.

8. Chief Source of Information
•
The chief source of information is the object
itself, together with any enclosure, label or
material that accompanies it. The chief source
of information is the prescribed source for the
title, statement of responsibility, edition,
publication distribution, etc. and series areas.
Information for these areas not from the
prescribed source must be enclosed in square
brackets. All other information used in the
catalog record can come from any source.

9. Fixed fieldsFixed fields
In the Leader, the Type of
Record will be
r: Three-dimensional artifact
or naturally occurring
object.
Bibliographic Level will either be either
m: Monograph/item for item level
records or
c: Collections for collection level records.

10. Code all other Leader
values as
appropriate.

11. The 008 positions are identical to those used for
other visual materials (projected media, two-
dimensional nonprojectable graphics, and
kits).
When applicable, values will be entered for
Publication Status, Date 1, Date 2,
Place of Publication, Type of Material,
and Language).

12. Otherwise, values for Running Time, Audience,
Accompanying Matter, Government
Publication,
Form of Item, Technique and Modified Record
will be Not applicable, None of the following,
etc.
(These fields are rarely used in this format.
There may be some instances, however, when
their use would be appropriate.
Cataloging Source should be d: Other
(unless item is coded pcc, then

13. Title and statement of
responsibility
Record the title and statement of
responsibility as it appears on the item or any
accompanying material. If the title appears in
multiple locations, prefer the title that
appears on the item. If the title appears in
different forms on the item, prefer that which
is most prominent. Title added entries should
be made for any variation in title appearing on
or with the item. Statements of responsibility
are not confined to creators, they may include
individuals who have collected, selected or
presented the material.

14. General Material Designation

No General Material Designation is used for
the format. (According to LCRI 1.1C, LC
practice is to apply only the following GMDs:
electronic resource, filmstrip, graphic,
microform, motion picture, slide, sound
recording, transparency, and videorecording).
•
Edition

Record edition statements as they appear on
published or manufactured items. The edition
statement must apply all items. Record in a
note, edition statements that apply to only
part of what is being cataloged.

15. Publication, distribution, etc.

Information entered in this area is dependent
upon the type of material, whether it is
naturally occurring, handmade, or mass-
manufactured.

Do no use this area for naturally occurring
objects (rocks, shells, butterflies, etc.).

Do not record a place of publication or
publisher's name for three dimensional art
originals, handmade items, or any other type
of unpublished materials. Provide only a date,
if possible.

16. Any information about manufacture (including
place of manufacture) will be given in a note.
The creator's name can be used as the
statement of responsibility (in square brackets
if known but not appearing on the item or any
accompanying material).

Record as much information possible for all
other types of three dimensional artifacts
(manufactured objects, three dimensional art
multiples, etc.)

17. Physical description

Provide a concise statement of extent. Record
the number of physical objects and provide
one of the following terms if applicable: art
original, art reproduction, braille cassette,
diorama, exhibit, game, microscope slide,
mock-up model. Otherwise, use a term that
best describes the object(s). When possible
give, as other physical details, the material
used to fabricate the item and the color. If it's
not possible to give other physical details in a
concise way, provide the information in a
note.

18. Record dimensions in cm as height x length x
depth. Provide measurements for container or
box following the measurement of the
object(s). (eg. 12 x 22 x 28 cm, in box 22 x 27 x
23 cm.)

19. Series

Record series statements as they appear on
published or manufactured items. Series
statements may be traced if there is an
existing series authority record coded "t" in
the 645 field. Generally, do not create series
authority records for items
published/manufactured before 1980. As with
edition statements, series statements must
apply to all items. Series statements that don't
apply to all items can be given in a general
note.

20. Notes

Specify the location of the title used. Provide
further description of the item(s) if the
information given in the physical description
area is not sufficient. Create general notes,
local notes and provenance notes/tracings as
one would for monographs.

21. Subject access

Use LCSH as appropriate. Create form/genre
tracings according to local policy. Additionally,
form/genre terms from the TGM II and AAT
can be used to bring out physical
characteristics of the i

22. Added entries

Create added entries for personal/corporate
names, if considered important.
