Constructing a Classification System for the Pan Eros Library Collection

Project tags:

community engagement & outreach

knowledge organization

For this project, we developed a unique classification scheme inspired by queer and Indigenous knowledge organization for the Pan Eros Foundation’s human sexuality library collection. This process involved researching alternative classification systems, familiarizing ourselves with the materials in the collection, and identifying the values and needs of the local sex positive community. The project will continue with volunteer training on cataloging using the classification scheme and moving towards making the library collection available to the public again after years of being in storage.
