Hebrew and Yiddish Personal Name Authorities under AACR2

Barry Dov Walfish · Cataloging & Classification Quarterly · 1983

This paper deals with problems encountered in applying AACR2 as interpreted by the Library of Congress to Hebrew and Yiddish personal names. It also discusses some problems relating to the romanization of such names and proposes some solutions. A plea is made for the eventual development of the capability to handle vernacular records for non-Roman languages in machine-readable form.
