Definition	Names of people pictured (for images) or discussed (for audio) in the resource.
Usage	Separate multiple entries by a semicolon and a space. Do not use "Unknown"--just leave the field blank. Use the correct form of the name when available in Library of Congress Authorities. Refer to the list of names already used at the CONTENTdm Browse by People Pictured page. If an authoritative version of a name is not available, create one: Invert personal names (as much as is known of Last name, First name, Middle name or initial, Date(s)). Enter corporate names in full, direct form. Do not use honorifics, titles, or nicknames unless it is necessary to disambiguate (e.g., the first name of the person is unknown). Otherwise, these alternate forms of names (such as “Buddy” Jones; Reverend Murrell; Dr. Reed) may be used in the Description field but not as the authoritative version in this or the Creator or Contributor fields. Add these new names, plus those you have researched in the established authority files, to the shared controlled vocabulary file “People."
