Have you ever had your own collection of
something? Model cars or Barbie dolls, baseball
cards or matchbox covers? Insects, stamps,
coins, rocks, or CDs? Are they organized
in any way? By color? By team? By country?
Something else?
Some collections are enormous, for example,
the Brooklyn Museum of Art has over one million
objects in its collection, the Brooklyn Children's
Museum has tens of thousands, and, the Brooklyn
Public Library has several million books, CD-ROMs,
videotapes, periodicals and more throughout its
branches. When you have that many objects in
a collection, you really need to have some kind of
system for organizing them.
