- Quipu (Peru) c. 1500Mayan codex (754)Haida Indian Potlatch poleStonehenge (3200 BCE)
- Bayeaux tapestry (vs embroidery)1066Tolkien
- So why are these classed as they are? Scholarly vs practical, art vs. craft discussion – how does a library (or anyone) decide what goes “together”?
- How do you organize your music, personally?
- Exercise music, study music, road trip music?http://bit.ly/ZMLhVChttp://bit.ly/11zbHOD

- What about these? Kilim rug from Turkey, ceremonial mask from BeninCraft? Material culture? Mask = religious and social significance, so imp. for anthropologists, but how does that differ from Sistine Chapel?

- Which this? Ming vaseFreer Gallery of Asian Art (1908)
- Hopi vase? Now vs. 50 years agoEiteljorg not until 1989; until 60s or 70s would have been put into natural history museum
- Diderot’s Encyclopedie (1751-1772); memory, reason, and imaginationEnlightenmenthttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:ENC_SYSTEME_FIGURE.jpegBut what about computer science, or interdisciplinary topics?
- Linnaeus (1707-1778)Carolus Linnaeus in Laponian costume(Hendrik Hollander 1853)ttp://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/5/56/Carolus_Linnaeus_by_Hendrik_Hollander_1853.jpg/429px-Carolus_Linnaeus_by_Hendrik_Hollander_1853.jpgDarwin (1809-1882)http://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Charles_Darwin_by_G._Richmond.jpg

- Which…brings us to the Library of Congress (Jefferson Library Reading Room, 1814)
- Library of Congress – intended to serve Congress, Roosevelt was President (1901-1909)LC Finalized in 1903Focused on US, informed political/Congressional decisionsWhich explains…
- All European art and non-European art is in Ns, EXCEPT for Native American art – why? What does this tell you? Inconvenient and insulting to researchers now? http://southwestindianarts.files.wordpress.com/2011/02/levi-ledger.jpg
- What about photography? Less culturally charged, but…this is an issue of technology. When LC created, photography = technological marvel, rather than art. Used chemicals, so with chem engineering as opposed to art. Mapplethorpe photo, but this would be in Ts as opposed to his paintings, or paintings of flowers in general, which would be in Ns

- Where should these go, and where do they go? Both in TR and TT, although both obviously intended for artists. Problematic?
