Subdivision rules for Art subject headings Art and Fine Art SCM Memo H 1250 (Art and Fine Art) explains the basic subject heading pattern for art: 650 _0 ‡a [art form with national, regional, ethic or religious qualifier] ‡z [place of origin] ‡y [period subdivision] Examples: H 1250 (Art and Fine Art) says this about the use of |x History with Art and Fine Art headings: "Use the subdivision ‡xHistory only for headings assigned to general, all-inclusive items, for example, Painting‡xHistory. Do not use ‡xHistory for materials limited to one country nor under form divisions of the type ‡Art, ‡xIllustrations, ‡xPortraits; etc. The subdivision ‡xHistory and criticism is not used with art headings." H 1647 (History) says this about the use of ‡xHistory with Art and Fine Art headings: "Do not use ‡xHistory under … art genre headings qualified by names of national, ethnic, or religious groups." Architecture and Photography Architecture and Photography follow the standard subdivision rules for other topical headings (see: SCM H 1647 History): 650 0 ‡a Architecture ‡z France ‡z Paris ‡x History ‡y 21st century. 650 0 ‡a Photography ‡z East Asia ‡x History ‡y 20th century. |
