Nomenclature 4.0 for Museum Cataloging is an updated and expanded edition of Robert G. Chenhall¿s system for classifying human-made objects, originally published in 1978. The Chenhall system is the standard cataloging tool for thousands of museums and historical organizations across the United States and Canada.

This new edition features crucial revisions including: ¿ A revised and updated users¿ guide with new tips and advice ¿ An expanded controlled vocabulary featuring nearly 950 new preferred terms ¿ 475 more non-preferred terms in the index ¿ An expanded and reorganized section on water transportation ¿ Expanded coverage of exchange media, digital collections, electronic devices, archaeological and ethnographic objects, and more AASLH has developed a free online community for all users and potential users of Nomenclature 4.
