Policy and formulation

  • Use authorized forms whenever possible.
  • Do not in general add associated groups to name authority records (NARs), except when a prominent individual is prominently associated with a prominent organization.
  • 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.

Special cases

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