Policy and formulation

  • Use sparingly, and generally restrict to Shakespeare-related organizations
  • Use authorized forms whenever possible.
  • Do not add dates (ǂs ǂt) unless multiple 373s are being added and the cataloger judges precise chronology of assocation to be important.
  • There will be exceptions as part of special projects, such as adding a 373 for the Folger to NARs for fellows.
  • Use for the names of religious denominations for members of the clergy.

Special cases

  • For clergy and other religious figures, add the authorized form for the denomination.
