At the National Portrait Gallery, we treat them as individuals
and put the name in Last Name, for search purposes. We have hundreds of Native
American sitters whose entire names are in Last Name.

Hi.
We are wondering how
other institutions handle constituents with only one name. IE
"Nadar" "Weegee" "Giotto". Are they individuals or
institutions? If individuals, then which field gets the name... first
name, last name or both (considering the search
implications)?
Any thoughts would
be appreciated.
Thanks.
