Hello everyone,
I am wondering how different historical societies and research centers have
their files organized. We have subject files for various newspaper
clippings and documents on a number of subjects but they are in need of
some order. For example instead of a section titled "Restaurants", each
restaurant is filed under its own name. We would like to create macro
categories but are wondering what they might be..."businesses" seems too
broad and yet "appliance stores" seems too detailed. Do you use "car
dealers" or "automobile dealerships"? Does anyone have a list of their
subject file categories?
Thanks,
