About this file

This file is a detailed database field mapping spreadsheet for the Illinois State Museum's (ISM) collections management system, listing required data fields across multiple scientific disciplines including Botany/Zoology, Ethnography, Geology, History, Library/Archives, Paleontology, Art, and Anthropology. The spreadsheet outlines the comprehensive database structure needed to catalog and track museum artifacts and specimens, with each discipline having specific fields tailored to their unique cataloging requirements.

The document contains hundreds of standardized and specialized database fields including object classification, accession numbers, inventory data, location tracking, preservation status, scientific nomenclature, geographical data, and cultural information. Critical shared fields across disciplines include object status, location tracking, inventory dates, cataloger information, and various identification numbers. Specialized fields are included for scientific specimens (taxonomic classification), cultural artifacts (ethnographic data), and art objects (artist information and provenance).
