Special Cases
- When a work discusses a corporate body that has undergone name changes over time, generally assign only the heading used by the body during the latest period covered by the work being cataloged
- For older works, the corporate heading may not be the same as the geographical which will always reflect the current place name
- For example, a 1922 government report about a part of India that is now part of Pakistan would be assigned a MARC 651 of Pakistan for the current place but a MARC 610 for India, the jurisdiction
- For older works, the corporate heading may not be the same as the geographical which will always reflect the current place name
- If the body was well known by an earlier name and that name is featured prominently as a subject of the work, assign the NAF heading for the earlier name as well
