5.11.2.Y.Y RDA definition and scope

5.11.2.1.Y.Y A place that is associated with the inscription, fabrication, construction, or other method of production of an unpublished manifestation.

5.11.3.Y.Y General rule

5.11.3.1.Y.Y Transcribe place names together with any associated words or phrases in the form and order in which they are presented on the preferred source of information, unless specifically instructed otherwise (see Transcription, 0.4.94.05).

5.11.3.2.Y.Y If the place appears together with the name of a larger jurisdiction (e.g., country, state, or similar designation), or multiple such jurisdictions, transcribe this as well.

5.11.3.3.Y.Y In general, transcribe the full address. Consider the sequence, layout, and typography of words in the production statement when determining the most appropriate element in which to transcribe the address.

5.11.3.4.Y.Y Optionally, omit, using the mark of omission, addresses and insignificant information appearing in the middle or end of the Place of production, unless the information is grammatically inseparable, aids in identifying or dating the manifestation, or is considered important to the cataloging agency (e.g., for the purpose of capturing information on a producer).

5.11.31.Y.Y Place of production with initial prepositions, etc.

5.11.31.1.Y.Y Transcribe any prepositions appearing before the place of production as well as any accompanying words or phrases associated with the place name.

5.11.32.Y.Y Supplied modern forms of place names

5.11.32.1.Y.Y Supply in square brackets the modern form of the name of the place if known and considered important. Use a modern form of the name in the language of the cataloging agency.

5.11.323.Y.Y Supplied fuller forms of place names

5.11.323.1.Y.Y If a place name is found only in an abbreviated form on the manifestation, transcribe it as found. Supply in square brackets the full form of the name, or the remainder of the name, if considered important.

5.11.325.Y.Y Supplied larger jurisdictions

5.11.325.1.Y.Y Supply in square brackets the name of the country, state, province, etc., after the name of the place if it is considered necessary for identification, or if it is considered necessary to distinguish the place from others of the same name. Use a modern form of the name in the language of the cataloging agency.

5.11.325.2.Y.Y Optionally, use the abbreviations for names in English listed in RDA Toolkit: Abbreviations of terms in English for countries and states.

5.11.33.Y.Y Two or more places of production

5.11.33.1.Y.Y If the manifestation shows two or more places of production, transcribe all in the order in which they appear.

5.11.33.2.Y.Y Optionally, if the places are considered too numerous to list exhaustively and some may be omitted without significant loss of identification, all after the third may be omitted. Supply in square brackets a phrase in the language and script of the cataloging agency to convey the nature of the omitted information. Include the number of omitted places in the supplied phrase. Do not use the mark of omission.

5.11.34.Y.Y Places of production in multiple unit resources

5.11.34.1.Y.Y If the manifestation is produced in more than one physical part and the place of production named in the resource changes in the course of production, transcribe as Place of production the place named in the first or earliest part and always record the place named in the later part(s) in a Note on production statement (see 5.14.SOMETHING.SOMETHING).

5.11.35.Y.Y Place names that are visually or grammatically inseparable parts of other elements

5.11.35.1.Y.Y If the place name appears only as a grammatically inseparable part of another element and is transcribed there, supply the Place of production in square brackets (see 5.1.SOMETHING.SOMETHING). Use a modern form of the name in the language of the cataloging agency.

5.11.36.Y.Y Fictitious or incorrect places of publication

5.11.36.1.Y.Y If the place of production appearing on the manifestation is known to be fictitious or incorrect, transcribe it nonetheless and always make an explanatory Note on production statement (see 5.14.SOMETHING.SOMETHING).

5.11.36.2.Y.Y If the place name is known to be fictitious or incorrect and the actual Place of production is known or can be reasonably surmised, transcribe it as it appears and supply the actual place name, preceded by “that is,” all enclosed within square brackets. Use a modern form of the name in the language of the cataloging agency, and give the basis for the correction or clarification in a Note on production statement (see 5.14.SOMETHING.SOMETHING). If the supplied place name is uncertain, record it following the instructions at 5.11.SOMETHING.SOMETHING.

5.11.37.Y.Y No place of production in the manifestation

5.11.37.1.Y.Y If no place of production appears on the manifestation but is known or can be reasonably surmised, supply it in square brackets. Use a modern form of the name in the language of the cataloging agency, and include the name of the larger jurisdiction if considered important. Provide a justification for the supplied place in a Note on production statement if not apparent from the rest of the description and if considered important (see 5.14.SOMETHING.SOMETHING). If the supplied place name is uncertain, record it following the instructions at 5.11.SOMETHING.SOMETHING.

5.11.37.2.Y.Y If the name of the place of production has changed over time, supply the place name appropriate to the Date of production if known (e.g., Leningrad, not Saint Petersburg, for manifestations produced in that city between 1924 and 1991). If considered important, also supply the modern place name and the name of the larger jurisdiction, preceded by “that is,” in the language of the cataloging agency.

5.11.38.Y.Y Place of production supplied based on address

5.11.38.1.Y.Y When only an address appears on the manifestation and the place name is known or can be reasonably surmised, supply a modern form of the place name in the language of the cataloging agency in square brackets. When supplying the place of production, give a justification in a Note on production statement if not apparent from the rest of the description and if considered important (see 5.14.SOMETHING.SOMETHING). If the supplied place name is uncertain, record it following the instructions at 5.11.SOMETHING.SOMETHING.

5.11.385.Y.Y Place of production uncertain or unknown

5.11.385.1.Y.Y If the place of production is uncertain, supply the name of a probable place of production with a question mark, using a modern form of the name in the language of the cataloging agency in square brackets. Keep in mind that when the item in hand is a drawing or a photographic print of a place, it was not necessarily produced in that place.

5.11.385.2.Y.Y If no city of production can be conjectured, supply the name of a state, province, country, or other larger geographic entity as the place of production with a question mark if necessary, using a modern form of the name in the language of the cataloging agency in square brackets.

5.11.385.3.Y.Y If the basis of the supplied place is not apparent from the rest of the description, always make a Note on production statement to indicate the source of the information (see 5.14.SOMETHING.SOMETHING).

5.11.385.4.Y.Y If no place of production can be conjectured, record “Place of production not identified” in square brackets.

Example:
[Place of production not identified]

(Ingest comment: example needs review)

5.11.39.Y.Y Place names in more than one language or script

5.11.39.1.Y.Y If the place of production appears in more than one language or script, transcribe the place in the language or script of the Title proper as Place of production. If this criterion does not apply, transcribe the place that appears first as Place of production. Transcribe remaining place(s) as Parallel place of production. For transposed elements, always make a Note on production statement to indicate the original position on the source (see 5.14.SOMETHING.SOMETHING).
