[Archivesspace_Users_Group] Agent records in ArchivesSpace and compound or hyphenated surnames

[Matthew Neely]

Hi Natalie,

We've followed the UK's NCA Rules for Names in our implementation (a practice we have used historically at the Bodleian). For example, Violet Bonham Carter is Carter | Lady | Helen Violet | Bonham | 1887-1969 | née Asquith | Baroness Asquith of Yarnbury | Liberal political figure<https://archives.bodleian.ox.ac.uk/agents/people/4387> in the Primary Part of Name field in the Agent record.

Best wishes,
Matthew

Subject: [Archivesspace_Users_Group] Agent records in ArchivesSpace and compound or hyphenated surnames

Dear all,

Are there any repositories on the list using ArchivesSpace for agent records who would be willing to share any guidance they have prepared for users/cataloguers about creating agent records? I'm specifically interested in conventions for entering compound and hyphenated surnames or last names.

Any advice would be really helpful.

Best wishes,

Natalie
