Is LC SCM memo H1140, free-floating subdivisions under names of places, also applicable to local place names?
Yes. The “TYPES OF HEADINGS COVERED” section of LC SCM memo H1140 includes cities, regions, city sections, districts or quarters among the categories of headings that these subdivisions apply to. Based on AACR2R rule 23.1A, interpret this instruction to mean that these subdivisions also apply to towns, villages and other smaller communities, including unincorporated local places that are not jurisdictions. Many of these subdivisions are included under the heading Canada in CSH which serves as the pattern heading for place names.
