<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Recently there was discussion on this list about how to provide access to named collections. Are they corporate entities, topics, or titles? If the decision is case-by-case, what would the
criteria be? Collections were listed in SCM H405 with Group 1 (<a name="m_4751068764586122516_HSPACE405SPACEgroupSPACE1"><span class="m_4751068764586122516italics-bold-small">Named entities always established according to descriptive cataloging conventions with authority records that always reside

the name authority file or the subject authority file</a>), adding to our confusion. The Library of Congress has acted on this matter. One of my colleagues spotted the following in the Summary of decisions, Editorial Meeting Number 1 (Jan. 18, 2019) of
the Policy and Standards Division (see <a href="http://www.loc.gov/aba/pcc/saco/cpsoed/cpsoeditorial.html" target="_blank">

removing the entry “Collections, Public and Private” from the Group 2 list and revising H 1427, Collections of Objects. Unnamed collections (such as
<b>Harvard University—Coin collections</b> and <b>Bronzes—Private collections</b>) will still be established as necessary in the subject file.

<span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:"Times New Roman",serif">Note that “collections” is found in Group 1 under “N” (Named collections), though all the entries in the list are for named entities. As I understand things from the earlier discussion, we
should consider all named collections to be corporate. Although its application is conceptually awkward in some cases, this pragmatic decision will spare us endless investigations into the “agency” of each collection (Does it have staff? Will it be similarly
funded next year too? Does staffing several hours a week count?) The assignment of “collections” to Group 1 allows NACO participants to create and also maintain the NARs; Group 2 headings must be maintained by the Policy and Standards Division. Thank you,
Kate James & Library of Congress.<u></u><u></u></span></p>
