The National Portrait Gallery uses Related Place, and we only chose Related over Associated for sorting purposes. I prefer Associated! ________________________________ Susan Garton Data Administrator and Acting Head of Collections Information and Research Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery [log in to unmask]<mailto:[log in to unmask]> | 202.633.8554 [cid:image001.png@01D4A0F7.864349B0] [Inline image 2]<https://www.facebook.com/npg.smithsonian/> [Inline image 3] <https://twitter.com/NPG> [Inline image 4] <https://www.instagram.com/smithsoniannpg/> [Inline image 5] <https://www.youtube.com/user/NatlPortraitGallery> npg.si.edu<http://npg.si.edu/> From: The Museum System (TMS) Users <[log in to unmask]> On Behalf Of Kelly Flaherty Sent: Tuesday, March 19, 2019 1:38 PM To: ListServ tmsusers <[log in to unmask]> Subject: Question about Geography Type Hi everyone, I was wondering how other institutions handle describing the geography associated with an object that isn't quite so straight forward. For example: A drawing of three figures that is a study for a lunette that was created for the Detroit Public Library. The drawing may not have been created in Detroit (we don't know where it was created). The drawing is not located in Detroit. The drawing does not depict the library or the city of Detroit. Does anyone use a geography type such as "Associated Place"? Do you just allow the title to be the only reference to the work's geography? If you do use a geography type for situations like this, do you display this information online? Thanks!
