brief_description
Thesaurus compiled from index terms generated from computer records using curatorial documentation and objects themselves (From intro). Not intended as a scientific classification system, rather a reflection of current and historical terminology in use at The British Museum. Explains its structure and abbreviated terms first and then follows an alphabetical listing of the thesaurus.
