Policy and formulation

  • Use as many place names as are appropriate without regard to duplication of content.
370 Penshurst (England) ǂb London (England) ǂc Great Britain ǂc England ǂe Penshurst (England) ǂe London (England) ǂ2 naf
  • Use the form of the place name as found in the 151 field of its NACO authority record (the main heading).
  • Follow descriptive usage rules; that is, use the form of a place appropriate to the time period.
370 ǂc Italy ǂc Venice (Republic : to 1797) ǂ2 naf
  • Include the constituent countries of Great Britain in addition to "Great Britain" in ǂc. Do not include states, provinces, or territories of the U.S., Canada, or Australia.
370 ǂc Great Britain ǂc Wales ǂe Aberystwyth (Wales) ǂ2 naf 
370 ǂc United States ǂe Clovis (Calif.) ǂ2 naf
  • Neighborhood names may be used
370 Harrow (London, England) ǂc Great Britain ǂc England ǂe London (England) ǂ2 naf
* If the place name isn't established, as is usually the case with villages and estates, determine the modern form of the name (Google is great for this) and add it in a second '''370''' without '''ǂ2'''.
