| Description | Domestic life refers to activities and materials relating to the family unit, and not the individual (see Personal Life). It includes material relating to the home and typical household activities, but does not include cottage industries (see Working Life).
According to the SHIC system, it is divided into ten further sub-categories:
HMC/S/1/0 - General
HMC/S/1/1 - Domestic and family administration and records
HMC/S/1/2 - House structure and infrastructure
HMC/S/1/3 - Heating, lighting, water, and sanitation
HMC/S/1/4 - Furnishing and fittings
HMC/S/1/5 - Household management
HMC/S/1/6 - Food, drink, and tobacco
HMC/S/1/7 - Family wellbeing
HMC/S/1/8 - Hobbies, crafts, and pastimes
HMC/S/1/9 - Domestic life not elsewhere specified
Currently, all objects are catalogued under HMC/S/2. Future cataloguing projects at Headstone Manor & Museum will see objects sorted into their proper sub-categories.
