The Folger Shakespeare Library is adopting ArchivesSpace for improved management, description, search, and access of collections in our care, including manuscripts, papers, records, and our institutional archives. This page is about our internal practices for description in ArchivesSpace.
Agents
We use names from the LC Name Authority File (LCNAF). Names that are not yet established in the LCNAF are indicated as coming from 'Local sources'.
Genre/Form terms
Following our practices with the MARC 655 field, we prefer genre/form terms from the following vocabularies, listed in order of preference: AAT, RBMS Controlled Vocabularies (rbmscv), and TGM.
Subjects
We are using FAST subject headings. These are similar to, and derived from, the Library of Congress Subject Headings that we use in the catalog.
For geographical names in subjects, we use the LC Name Authority File (LCNAF). Uniform titles in subjects also come from the LCNAF.
