I am seeking some help and advice with cataloguing the poster collection at The Post Office, Heritage Services. The collection consists of some 5000-6000 items and is constantly growing as new posters are produced. The posters date from around 1935 and were produced by different departments or business units within The Post Office. We want to produce an Access database and a catalogue that are ISAD(G) and PROCAT compliant and that at some point in the future can be exported to CALM2000. This is where I am having problems because I want to include more information than I can see how to fit into ISAD(G). For instance, there is only one field for creator but I want to record the artist, printer and creating department. However, I do not want to start creating extra fields that do not map to the standards. If anyone has catalogued anything like posters, maps, artwork etc. to ISAD(G) standard (or has any ideas about how to do so) I would be very interested to hear from you.
