FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Executive Board of the Visual Resources
Association is pleased to announce that it has
received two grants
from the Getty Grant Program and the Digital
Library Federation to support the development of a
guide to good
practice for cataloging cultural objects and their
images.

This project will review and evaluate existing
data content standards and current practice in
order to compile a
manual that may be used to describe, document, and
catalog cultural objects and their visual
surrogates.  A full
description of the proposed project can be found
at
http://php.indiana.edu/%7Efryp/guidelines.html.
An advisory
board comprised of members of the wider cultural
heritage community will be formed to assist in the
project.

The development of the guidelines follows upon the
work of the Visual Resources Association Data
Standards
Committees development of the Core Categories, and
will further enhance the use of the Core.
