[Archivesspace_Users_Group] NACO versus LCNAF

[Susan Luftschein]

Hi Karla,
We are using NACO. I began using NACO for rules because LCNAF was being exported as a subfield 2 with a second indicator of 7.  In the subfield 2 was "Library of Congress Name Authority File".  I'm pretty sure I reported this at the time (there are still other issues with the MARC export), so I just switched to using NACO (which exports the same way).

If something has been fixed, I'd appreciate knowing!  (Thanks in advance Chris!).

I have a general question for the group. When creating agent records, are you using the NACO (as provided by ArchivesSpace) or have you added LCNAF to your name_source controlled value list and are using that as your preferred term?

We had some EAD legacy data import using LCNAF, which automatically created the LCNAF value. We will have to merge to one or the other, but we would like to hear what others are doing. I recall that Archivists' Toolkit used LCNAF instead of NACO so I imagine we have not been the only institution with this issue.

Thank you!
