<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro",serif">A group at Yale will soon discuss policy regarding subdivisions with genre/form headings, for description of manuscripts and archives. I regret that I find very little in the way of recent literature
or commentary on the topic, i.e. arguments in favor or against application of g/f subdivisions. The RBMS Controlled Vocabularies short
<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/T_K1CM8K3XtWB7rFwBAOY?domain=rbms.info/">
treatment of the topic</a> is about the best that I’m aware of. (Thank you CVEG!). Are there useful discussion to be found elsewhere?<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro",serif"><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Georgia Pro",serif">I’d like to hear about practice at other institutions. As
<a href="https://protect-us.mimecast.com/s/zuYACNkK3GiXkzWs4Kpaq?domain=loc.gov">
LCGFT already forbids</a> application of subdivisions, and the RBMS CV will soon follow suit, will folks continue to subdivide AAT – because it’s allowed – or is a blanket avoidance of subdivisions preferable, for the sake of consistency at least?
