6XX: Additional Guidelines: Beinecke
Use for subject access to names (see also 700 (Added Entry - Personal Name)). Generally, include the name in the 1XX field also in a 6XX field, as manuscript material, such as letters or personal papers, is as much about the person, corporate body, or meeting in the 1XX field as it is authored by that entity. Use also for correspondents and other creators of works present in the collection.
At least one 600, 610, 611, 630, 650, or 651 is required. Use additional 6XXs as appropriate. Justify all 6XXs by describing subject matter in a 520 (Scope and content note). Long lists of 6XXs for correspondents may be generally characterized, without being individually mentioned, in the 520 field.
Voyager indexes names in 6XXs as subjects and names in 7XXs as authors. Yale repositories use 6XX, rather than 7XX, for listing correspondents.
Generally, put 6XX added entries in tag order, and in alphabetic order within each tag. Exceptions may be determined locally; for example, listing the creator of the collection as the first 6XX. The ordering of headings may change if headings are updated during MARS processing.
In the past, second indicator 4 was used with 6XX local headings, but this practice is no longer used. Use 69X fields for all local headings. When found in older records, 6XX headings with second indicator 4 should be updated to 69X headings.

Search Orbis and the Library of Congress authority file for an authority record, and use this form if one exists. If no authority record exists, create a heading in accordance with RDA rules and LC interpretations.
RDA rules and LC interpretations:
Personal names: see 100 (Main Entry - Personal Name).
Family names: do not use RDA headings for family names in 600; instead use the form established in LCSH, or create a heading in conformance with LCSH. LCSH family headings used as subjects should always be in 600, not in 650.
‡t Title: see 240 (Uniform Title)
‡e Relator term:
If the OPAC field label does not sufficiently identify the relationship, optionally use a relator term. RDA may require use of "creator" or another relator term in 1xx and 7xx; a decision is pending as of 2013 January.
Use only terms from RDA Appendix I. A process for adding terms to Appendix I is pending as of 2013 January.
Don't trace nicknames unless they are bibliographically significant, and then only if this heading is authorized, or does not conflict with authorized headings and conforms to RDA.
Optionally use ‡v Archives for a major collection oof the subject's papers.
Examples:
600 10 ‡a Clarkson, Robert H. ‡q (Robert Harper), ‡d 1826-1884.
600 10 ‡a Millsap, Walter, ‡d 1886- ‡v Archives.

Use for topical subject access. Search the Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH) through the Library of Congress Authorities or Classification Web. See the Chief Catalog Librarian to obtain a logon and password for Classification Web.
For large collections of personal papers, optionally use "[occupation] ‡v Archives". Do not use the subdivision "Correspondence," as this is implied in title words such as "papers," "records," or "collection". "Correspondence" is used as a subdivision for published collections of correspondence. For literary papers, optionally include a heading tracing national identity and chronological era. Note that "Translations into [language]" appears in subfield ‡v, while "Translations from [language]" appears in subfield ‡x.
Examples:
650 _0 ‡a String quartets.
650 _0 ‡a Piano music.

Use to to give access to genre terms from a standard thesaurus specified in ‡2. Generally used only for substantive quantities of material, though may be used for smaller numbers of special photographic formats or a single occurrence of an especially rare item or format. Do not trace genres commonly found in collections, such as correspondence or literary manuscripts.
Use terms from the following thesauri, in this order of preference:
Getty Art & Architecture Thesaurus (AAT)
Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT)
Other established thesauri, including the following:
Rare Books and Manuscripts Section (RBMS) Controlled Vocabularies
Optionally add an 006 Additional Materials Characteristics field corresponding to each genre heading, to facilitate search limiting.
Genre/form terms should not be subdivided geographically, topically, chronologically, or by form. In limited cases terms from AAT or GMGPC may be subdivided, for example when the geographic or chronological association of a genre or form in a manuscript or archive differs significantly from the geographic or chronological association of the resource as a whole.
Examples:
655 _7 ‡a Diaries. ‡2 aat

Use to give access to index terms for occupations or avocations reflected in the collection. Consider also including this term or a similar term in a 650 (Subject Added Entry - Topical Term). Inclusion of 650 fields may facilitate searching, as 650s are indexed as subject, while 656 fields are indexed by keyword only.
Optionally subdivide geographically (by state if in the United States; otherwise by country) and/or chronologically.
Standard thesauri are Library of Congress Subject Headings (lcsh) and Art and Architecture Thesaurus (aat). When an appropriate term is not found in a standard thesauri, optionally use a local term followed by "‡2 local".
Examples:
656 _7 ‡a Engineers. ‡2 lcsh

69X: Additional Guidelines: Beinecke
Use to provide access to subject headings which are locally-created and are not controlled by Library of Congress Subject Headings (LCSH). Local subject headings are indexed in the OPAC as Special Collections Subjects only, and are not included in the Subjects index. Subfields and and first indicators for 692 (personal name), 693 (corporate name), 690 (topical term), and 691 (geographic name) conform to those for 600, 610, 650, and 651 fields, repectively. Use second indicator 4 for all 69X fields.
Use a 691 field only for an alternate form of a geographic heading that already has an authoritative form established in LCSH. Create new geographic authority records when needed (see 651). Generally, do not use 651 and 691 for the same geographic name in the same record. An exception has been made for the Fortunoff Video Archive for Holocaust Testimonies, which does use both established and local forms in the same record, to allow access to both the current form of a place name and the form used in the testimony.
Examples:
692 14 ‡a Purdy, James ‡x Presentation inscription to C. Van Vechten.
692 14 ‡a Van Vechten, Carl, ‡d 1880-1964 ‡x Presentation inscription from J. Purdy.
