To make a catalog of items, or to enter items into a catalog with detailed descriptions and organization.
From 'catalog' (Greek 'katalogos') + '-ize' (to make or become), becoming standard in English libraries and museums from the 1800s.
When museums catalogize artifacts, they're not just listing them—they're creating a searchable story that links objects across time and culture, which is how researchers discover surprising connections!
