Subindustry

This is a mandatory field. Every record must include subject(s).

Subindustry
Repeatable Yes. Enter each subject in the same field, separated by a semicolon and a space.

See People Pictured OR People Discussed for personal names as subjects.

Definition What the content of the resource is about or what it is, expressed by headings, keywords, phrases, names, or other terms for significant people, places, and events, etc.

Set up field properties to link to Library of Congress Thesaurus for Graphic Materials I (LCTGM). Reference usage at http://www.loc.gov/pictures/collection/tgm/. Separate each entry by a semicolon and a space. In addition to LCTGM Use specific or unique words as well as more general words. Identify ethnic groups as appropriate (e.g., African Americans). Refer to LCSH for subject terms for ethnic groups. Geographic subheadings may be applied on a case-by-case basis. Corporate entities (e.g. Oneida Baptist Institute) and physical entities (e.g. Buckingham Palace) belong in this field rather than in Location Depicted, which should be reserved for geographic entities (Oneida (Ky.) and London (England) in the above examples). For corporate entities, the name of the corporation at the time of the artifact being described should be used.
