This article discusses situations where it is not immediately clear whether an entity should be established as a personal or corporate name heading. While these situations are well-documented in early modern materials, less attention has been paid to them in 19th (and, to a lesser extent, 20th) century items.

The Folger is currently in the process of deciding on an approach to the "personal vs corporate" name heading problem, and is collecting a pool of examples, both to inform our decision-making process and to assist other catalogers considering the same issue. All examples should include at least one photograph of the item (see instructions for uploading files), a transcription of publication/printing statement, and a link to a catalog record.
