It is argued that focusing attention on linguistic and procedural choices requires us to rethink the legacy of both this remarkable catalogue and other comparable systems of knowledge organization. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: Y custom: © 2020 Institute of Historical Research. item: Historical Research holder: Oxford University Press / USA dt: @attributes: year: 2020 holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
