# Access the Standard Value of a field

You can use the `Sitecore.Data.Fields.Field.GetStandardValue()` method to access the standard value of a field. For example, to access the standard value of the *Title* field in the */Sitecore/Content/Home* item in the *Master* database:

```

Sitecore.Data.Database master = Sitecore.Configuration.Factory.GetDatabase("master");

Sitecore.Data.Items.Item home = master.GetItem("/sitecore/content/home");

Sitecore.Data.Fields.Field titleField = home.Fields["title"];

string standardTitle = titleField.GetStandardValue();

```
