All book publications and the articles from 30 current journals held in the library of the Museum der Kulturen are catalogued in detail according to subject category and geographical region. The subject category index is based on the Outline of Cultural Materials (OCM), the geographical index on the Outline of World Cultures (OWC). OCM (first edition 1938) and OWC (first edition 1954) were developed by George P. Murdock at Yale University in the context of Human Relation Area Files (HRAF). When searching for literature the book publications and journal articles held in the library of the Museum der Kulturen are fully listed only under the OCM and OWC classifications. Going by this system you achieve far more and better search results than by subject headings and keywords.
