| Notes | Recommended best practice is to select a value from a controlled vocabulary or formal classification scheme. Select subject keywords from the Title or Description information, or from within a text resource. If the subject of the item is a person or an organization, use the same form of the name as you would if the person or organization were a Creator or Contributor. Use uncoordinated values if possible (or attempt to for new collections), for example: Subject: Soldiers Subject: Ohio Subject: Correspondence instead of Subject: Soldiers -- Ohio -- Correspondence |
