This is what RDA says:
9.2.2.2 Sources of Information
Determine the preferred name for a person from the following sources (in order of preference):
a)the preferred sources of information (see 2.2.2 ) in resources associated with the person
b)other formal statements appearing in resources associated with the person
c)other sources (including reference sources).
I think that in practice it's going to amount to the same thing. If the "resources associated with the person" are art works, that don't contain a preferred source giving the artist's name, then we'd be looking at "other sources (including reference sources)".
Regards
Richard

This is covered by LCRI 22.1B, isn't it? That reference sources trump what's on the piece for people not known primarily as authors? I don't know what RDA says about this.

Ian,
A belated response (my first attempt bounced back):
Your question has relevance beyond the archival community. We face this concern more often than not when cataloging art works and individual manuscripts.
Art works most of the time don't carry either titles or statements of responsibility. This makes it very easy for us to divorce ourselves from the "item in hand" and the transcription principles. We go straight to respected and authoritative art reference sources and establish usage in the discipline as opposed to usage as it appears on the item. A few
considerations:
- We follow a list of preferred secondary sources for each discipline (manuscript illumination, master drawings, etc.). There may be different sources based on geographic origin and time period.
- When we deal with obscure persons (artists, collectors, illuminators, scribes, etc.) and we have access to unpublished information in curatorial files, we cite local files, e.g. 670 $a NNPM files, Feb. 7,
2012 $b
- We always record signatures or other identifiers that appear on the item in the descriptive part of the record. These can be supplied as references in the NAF record, but they do not necessarily warrant the 100 form.
Example:
OCLC ARN 8976702
010 no2011143847
040 NNPM $b eng $c NNPM
100 1 Andreasi, Ippolito, $d 1548-1608
670 Grove Art online, Sept. 14, 2011 $b (Andreassi, Ippolito; b.
Mantua, 1548; d. Mantua, June 4-5, 1608; Italian painter and
draughtsman)
670 Allgem. Künstlerlexikon, bio-bibl. Index, 2000 $b (Andreasi,
Ippolito; b. Mantua, about 1458; d. Mantua, June 1608; painter, architect, stage set designer)
The Morgan is part of the ArtNACO funnel, and we discussed this issue numerous times with Sherman Clarke, our NACO coordinator. We have been following the above outlined practices for many years without problems.

Dear PCCLIST readers,
When creating name authority records for individuals and bodies represented in archival collections, do the principles differ from those
for published materials? Of specific concern is recording data found.
Please discuss this question! Thanks - Ian
