When adding the name of a higher or related corporate body to a corporate name, give the name of the body in the form and language on which the heading for the body is based (not the necessarily the catalog-entry form for the institution). Use in the qualifier the body’s current name. However, if a qualifier is added to the name of a body that no long exists, use in the qualifier the name of the body that was appropriate at the time the body ceased.

Example A

If the combination of corporate name plus qualifier actually conflicts in the file being searched against, then give the qualifier in catalog-entry form.

Example B

If the higher or related body is entered subordinately, use wither its parent body or its catalog-entry form.

Example C

If the existing qualifier becomes inappropriate because the body used in the qualifier has changed its name or the body used in the qualifier is no longer associated with the body being qualified, establish a separate heading for the body being qualified. Mark earlier/later see also references to connect the headings.

Example D

Note: For period 1980-1991, the established heading was changed to reflect the latest qualifier whenever the existing qualifier became inappropriate; the form with the earlier qualifier was covered by a "see"-reference. Generally do not establish a separate heading for the form with the earlier qualifier that is covered by an existing "see"-reference.
