Scope and Contents

Scope and Contents

Artifacts originally created as playthings. Toys often represent functional objects, such as toy teapots, or toy ships, or living things, such as baby dolls or stuffed animals. Toys also include objects developed primarily for play, such as balls, tops, or kites. Note: Toys that are small representations of objects normally used in human activity should be given the object name "Toy." The cataloger may also use "Model" from Other Documents or "miniature" from Art if appropriate. Information about what the toy represents should be recorded in a subject field; this information may be entered acording to the naming conventions and object terms use throughout Nomenclature.
