Printers' Devices Name Authority File | |||||
The following is a list of names of the printers, publishers, and device designers that appear in the records. As there can be numerous variations of a name in different publications, it is necessary to refer to the individual by only one name. The list is based upon the Name Authority File maintained by the Library of Congress and contributed to by libraries and institutions authorized to do so. Not all of the variants are listed below; only those most likely to be encountered. One significant difference is the use of "Name, family of printers." This is not found in the LC NAF. However, it is a useful addition when it is difficult or irrelevant to determine which family member was responsible for a book. It is to be used largely in addition to a name. Also, there are names that are not in the LC NAF that will either appear in the publication or a reference book. In these cases, the most commonly used form of the name in various cataloging sources will be used. All names not in the LC NAF will have an annotation (Not NAF.)
