[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Controlled Value List: subject_source - No lcnaf

[Brad Westbrook]

Hi, Jaime,

If I understand your basic question below correctly, in ArchivesSpace all names (persons, families, corporations, and software) are encoded in the Agents module and then linked to material descriptions (accessions, resources, digital objects) as either creators, sources, or subjects.  The subject module is not designed to support the recording of agent information; hence, the "lcnaf" source option is not available in the subject module, but it is in the agent module.

That said, translations for controlled value elements can be edited in the "en" files located in the Locales folder in the ArchivesSpace program directory.  The README file indicates how the translations for the controlled values can be edited.

All best, and let us know if you have other questions.

Brad W.

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Controlled Value List: subject_source - No lcnaf

While "lcsh" translates fine to "Library of Congress Subject Headings" on the Controlled Value List for "subject_source," lcnaf does not appear to be preset as a recognized option.

-Why? Is everybody else just coding people, places, etc. as lcsh?
-Can I/How do I fix the "Translation" for lcnaf in the "subject_source" list, so that it is something more appropriate like "Library of Congress Name Authority File"?
Thanks,
Jaime
