1XX

Main Entry

Always record a relationship designator in subfield ‡e. 

Generally, use the term Cartographer (A person, family, or corporate body responsible for creating a map, atlas, globe, or other cartographic work). Other terms from the RDA Appendix I.2.1 may apply, such as Compiler (An agent responsible for creating a new work such as a bibliography or a directory by selecting, arranging, aggregating, and editing data, information, etc.). 

Always precede the subfield ‡e by a comma, unless the authorized access point ends in an open date. 

Examples:

100 1_ ‡a Stevens, Walter C., ‡d 1865- ‡e cartographer. 

100 1_ ‡a Baker, Joseph, ‡d 1779-1800?, ‡e cartographer. 

110: Corporate Bodies

Corporate bodies can be considered creators of cartographic works if they are not merely responsible for the works’ publication or distribution. For example, cartographic works that report the collective activity of an expedition led by a corporate body (land companies, Army Corps of Engineers, etc.), could be cataloged under the corporate body as the main entry. However, generally, if there is a statement of responsibility naming a specific employee of a company (engineer, surveyor, etc), use the personal name as the main entry in 100. Provide a 710 for the company, and 6xx for both. 

Example:

100 1_ ‡a Stevens, Walter C., ‡d 1865- ‡e cartographer. 

245 10 ‡a Plan of Harvard Lawn, Belmont, belonging to Quimby Company / ‡c Walter C. Stevens, Civil Engineer & Surveyor. 

600 10 ‡a Stevens, Walter C., ‡d 1865- 

610 20 ‡a Quimby Company. 

710 2_ ‡a Quimby Company, ‡e commissioning body.
