----------------------------Original message---------------------------- For the first time in my career, a map has crossed my desk which depicts the life travels of a historical individual. This calls for the use of the subject cutter .A85. Not having seen any other examples of biographical maps, I'm wondering two things: * Does it call for a second cutter for the individual? (The G schedule and LC map cataloging manual don't mention this, and it probably won't be needed, given the fewness of biographical maps!) * What date is called for here: publication date or date of situation (and since it covers a person's whole life, there's no one date to use if it's the latter that's required)? I'd get my answers from other cataloging records, but that's the old needle in a haystack, since I don't know what biographical maps are out there. Can anyone who has had experience with such maps give me a hand here, even if just identifying other examples that I can go check? Thank you much...
