Abstract
Abstract This paper explores the Rare Book and Manuscript Section (RBMS) Controlled Vocabularies (RBMS CV) and their successor, the RBMS Controlled Vocabulary for Rare Materials Cataloging (RBMS CVRMC), both developed and maintained by the Rare Book and Manuscript Section of ALA/ACRL. These resources provide genre/form terms for use in special collections cataloging. Following a brief history of the development of the RBMS CV, this paper focuses on two projects: the creation of the integrated and linked data-compliant RBMS CVRMC and the revision and expansion of the thesaurus’ terms for prejudicial materials. We offer this as a case study of a community-created cataloging resource.
