i. Overall Comments:
The collections management standards in use have been developed during the last 25 years. This split in two parts. The traditional way of doing this things have got its standards before the First World War. When some of the major museums in Sweden understood that computerised cataloguing will take place, some of the other parts of the collections management has change a bit. Those museums took care of co-ordinating the development of new collections management standards. They made SAMOREG.
