100 Main entry – personal name. (DACS 2.6). Required if known
[updated 11/7/2013]
Make sure that you enter the name in its authorized form. If the person does not appear in the LC name-authority file (NAF) and if the name is the same as that of another author in HOLLIS OPAC, then you may make an addition to it. Use dates if possible. "Active" is allowed if necessary. Otherwise use a fuller form of the name or a distinguishing term, preferably one given in the collection or in a reference book. It is, however, acceptable to leave the name undifferentiated if absolutely necessary.
See DACS for examples.
See DACS 10.1. for more information on establishing names.
In this field, abbreviations are used as listed in the authorized form in the NAF.
The main entry form of the name must be exactly as it is listed in the <eadheader><filedesc><titlestmt><titleproper> section of the EAD finding aid and this includes relator terms used. This is a requirement of Harvard bib standards.
