博物館藏品編目實務面向的問題與改善建議－以國立臺灣歷史博物館為例
Cataloging of Cultural Objects - Issues and Suggestions for Improvement: Example of the National Museum of Taiwan History
摘要
藏品編目為藏品管理重要的一環，藏品自捐贈、購藏、移轉等管道進入博物館之後，藏品相關資料（包括基本資料、詮釋資料、研究資料）正確性的管控決定了藏品的價值，也是日後如何應用藏品的重要關鍵。然而對比圖書編目已發展出一套行之多年的編目規則及相關規範，臺灣的博物館卻尚未發展出關於藏品、文物通則性的編目規則，以作為共通的管理語言，因此本文試圖透過文獻回顧與分析，瞭解美國博物館文物詮釋資料標準發展的脈絡與特色，藉以理解藏品編目所涉及的內涵。其次進一步以國立臺灣歷史博物館為例，介紹該館藏品編目的發展歷程與相關規則。最後以實務操作面臨到的問題，分享經驗，並作為討論的基礎，提出建議，探討博物館的藏品編目是否需要一套共用的編目規則或標準，以求描述的一致性，進而作為推動藏品編目專業化的開端。

The cataloguing of cultural objects is an important part of museum collections management. Collections grow through donations, purchases, transfers and other approaches. The accuracy and the supervision of the recording of data of cultural objects (including background information, metadata and research materials) determine the value of collections, and how they are used and applied in museums. In contrast to the field of library science, museums in Taiwan have not yet developed common guidelines for cultural object cataloging. The aim of this paper is to analyze the context of cultural object cataloging through a literature review of metadata standards in American museums. In addition, the National Museum of Taiwan History (NMTH) is taken as an example and the development of guidelines on cultural object cataloging in this museum is introduced in detail. Issues and lessons learned from the implementation of cultural object cataloging in the NMTH are also explored. Finally, standardization of cultural object cataloging guidelines should be considered in the further development of museum collections cataloging in Taiwan.
