Usage

Refer to the LOJIC Neighborhoods, Municipalities, and Places application to identify the neighborhood of an image at a known Louisville location.

Refer to the lists of locations already used. If an authoritative version of a name is not available, create an AACR2-compliant heading: Neighborhood (City, St.).

Do not use “Unknown”—just leave the field blank.

If location of images borders two or more neighborhoods, use all applicable neighborhoods.

Please note:"Highlands" is NOT a valid neighborhood name. It's a generic term for a number of separate neighborhoods, the boundaries of which are shown on the LOJIC tool linked here.
