Thesaurus

Connected Earth's Telecommunciations Object Wiki-Thesaurus gives a common language for telecommunciations objects; primarily designed for people working with telecommunications objects in heritage collections.

The thesaurus is not a history of individual or specific items but a tool to improve access and acquisition activities for people working with telecommunications heritage. It shows the breadth of telecommunications objects and provides information which will help identification and understanding of telecommunications history.

The structure is designed to accommodate additional terms as they are identified. It is hierarchically structured using the ‘kind of’ rule, e.g. public telephone kiosk is a kind of telephone kiosk, but you can also find terms by a search function and an A-Z index.

Importantly, this thesaurus has a wiki facility so you can add additional scope notes and non-preferred terms; please join in and share what you know.
