Abstract

An evolution of cataloguing in the last two centuries is presented. The object is to show how the concept of international cataloguing originated in the idea of cooperation among libraries and the normalization of cataloguing procedure. The cataloguing codes that have exerted more influence in this process have been studied, considering the persons, institutions and professional institutions that have guided this evolution. A cataloguing practice beyond idiomatic frontiers is nowadays possible because for more than two centuries different initiatives have been added in order to obtain an international cataloguing code
