DCM Z1: 370 Associated Place
General:
For jurisdictions or other place names with authority records in the LC/NAF, use the authorized access point form as found, recording the source in subfield $2. The form of place name in the 370 field may differ from the form of place name added to a preferred name of place or an access point per RDA and LC-PCC PS instructions.
Examples:
Geographic name in LC/NAF:
151 ## $a Washington (State)
[Authorized access point for the place includes type of jurisdiction.]
Authorized access point recorded in 370:
370 ## $e Washington (State) $2 naf
Form of name as an addition in an access point:
110 2# $a Childhood Lead Poisoning Prevention Program (Wash.)
[Abbreviation for the place per RDA B.11.]
Form of name as part of preferred name of a local place:
151 ## $a Seattle (Wash.)
[Abbreviation for the larger place per RDA B.11.]
Geographic name in LC/NAF:
151 ## $a Korea (South)
[Authorized access point for the place includes another designation.]
Authorized access point recorded in 370:
370 ## $c Korea (South) $2 naf
Form of name as an addition in an access point:
110 2# $a Masa Pangmulgwan (Korea)
[Preferred name of place.]
Form of name as part of preferred name of a local place:
151 ## $a Seoul (Korea)
[Preferred name for the larger place.]

[Abbreviation for the larger place per RDA B.11.]

Other place name in LC/NAF:
110 2# $a Auschwitz (Concentration camp)
Authorized access point recorded in 370:
370 ## $a Auschwitz (Concentration camp) $2 naf
If there is no authorized access point for the place in the LC/NAF, it is not necessary to create a NAR in order to code the 370 field. Record the place in the 370 field following RDA and the LC-PCC PSs, including consulting appropriate sources and adding additional elements (e.g., type of jurisdiction) to break conflicts. Do not add a subfield $2 if no NAR is created.
If the name of the associated place has changed, the name of the place that applied in the time of the entity being established in the 1XX may optionally be recorded in place of, or in addition to, the current form of name. It is not necessary to follow subject cataloging policies to use the latest form of name only.
Examples:
370 ## $a Calcutta (India) $c India $2 naf
[For a person born in the city of Calcutta before its name changed to Kolkata; cataloger has chosen to record the form of name that applied at the time the person was born.]
370 ## $c Italy $e Milan (Italy) $2 naf
[For a person residing in the city of Milan during the Renaissance, prior to the formation of the modern country of Italy; cataloger has chosen to record the current form of name for the country.]
For non-jurisdictions, prefer names from an authorized vocabulary such as LCSH and identify the source in subfield $2. If the name is not found in an authorized vocabulary, record it in field 370 without giving a subfield $2 (it is not necessary for SACO participants to submit a subject heading proposal).
When determining when to create a name authority record for a geographic name, consult the Name Authority Records (NARs) section of DCM Z1, Introduction.
Repeatability:
In choosing between repeating a field vs. repeating a subfield: If the only addition to an existing field is an additional term from the same vocabulary, repeat the affected subfield. If the vocabulary source differs, or if another associated element differs (such as a range of dates), repeat the field. Overall best practice: repeat the field when needed for clarity.
Subfield $c - Associated country:
Generally, do not use subfield $c to record places that are not sovereign entities. Such places may be recorded in subfield $f or other subfields as appropriate.
Example:
370 ## $c France $f Martinique $2 naf
[Martinique is an overseas department of France.]
However, if a sovereign entity has (or previously had) one or more constituent countries, any of the constituent countries associated with the 1XX may optionally be recorded in subfield $c in addition to, or instead of, the larger sovereign entity.
Examples:
370 ## $c Great Britain $c Wales $2 naf
[For a person associated with Great Britain who has strong ties to Wales; cataloger has chosen to record both places.]
370 ## $c Soviet Union $c Kirghiz S.S.R. $2 naf
[For a person associated with the Soviet Union, particularly the Kirghiz Soviet Socialist Republic; cataloger has chosen to record both places.]
370 ## $c Aruba $2 naf
[For a person associated with Aruba, a constituent country of the Netherlands; cataloger has chosen not to record the Netherlands.]
370 ## $c India $2 naf
[For a person associated with India prior to its independence from Great Britain; cataloger has chosen not to record Great Britain.]
Consider Indian tribes recognized by the U.S. government as legal entities and Canadian First Nation entity names to be eligible for inclusion in subfield $c.
Example:
370 ## $c Musqueam First Nation $2 naf
Subfield $s - Start period and Subfield $t - End period:
Follow the LC/PCC practice for subfield $s and subfield $t provided in the 373 field (DCM Z1).
Subfield $u - Uniform Resource Identifier and Subfield $v - Source of information:
Follow the LC/PCC practice for subfield $u and subfield $v provided in the 046 field (DCM Z1).
SARs:
LC series practice: As of June 1, 2006, LC does not create or update SARs.
PCC series practice: Record the place of origin of the work in field 370, unless it is merely a place of publication or other place associated with a manifestation (use field 643, when appropriate, for the latter). Although the "place of origin" of a serial work may be the same as the place of publication of the component part for which the SAR (or serial bibliographic record) was created, use judgment in distinguishing between place of origin of the work and a place of publication not actually related to the work itself.
