| + | Repository should __not__ be used for buildings that have works of architectural decoration such as frescoes, architectural sculpture, or mosaics unless those works have been separated from their original building and now are housed in a secondary location. The secondary location would be the repository. | ||

| - | This is a field to record the display value for the place in which the work is housed or person or other entity in possession of the work. Use ULAN or Library of Congress to formulate the display value. If there is no entry in ULAN or LOC for the repository, use the repository's website to see what they call themselves. | + | This is a field to record the display value for the place in which the work is housed or person or other entity in possession of the work.

| + | The Getty may list a repository's preferred name in a language other than English. Please list an English translation in the primary field, with the foreign language name in the variant field. If no English title is provided, skip this step. The Library of Congress often lists a transliterated name: for example, //Xu Beihong ji nian guan// for //Xu Beihong Museum//. Please list the variant English spelling in the primary field. There is no need to include the transliteration, as long as the English title is in fact a variant. This recommendation comes from CCO. | ||

| + | If the repository is a named private collection, enter the last name here with first names in parens (e.g. Osuna (Ramon) Collection for Ramon Osuna Collection) and list "private collection" as a variant. For unnamed private locations, enter "private collection (location)." See CCO, page 196. | ||
