Title

¬The 1791 French cataloging code and the origins of the card catalog

Source

Libraries and culture. 27(1992) no.4, S.378-404

Year

1992

Abstract

The French cataloging code of 1791 was notable for 2 reasons: it was the first national cataloguing code: and it was the first code to provide for the use of cards in the cataloguing process, with playing cards as the medium of choice. Discusses the code in terms of the government's confiscation of church property in 1789 and its efforts to learn what the new national property consisted of; shows how the code used in revolutionary France in an attempt to compile a national bibliography and union catalogue of the holdings of various confiscated libraries; introduces the government bodies and individuals involved in the effort; and describes the ultimate fate of the cataloguing records created on the basis of the 1791 code. Examines the use of playing cards in the cataloguing process, both before and after 1791
