== Beyond Notability: Person of Interest ==

A Person of Interest is typically a women who worked in archaeology, history and/or heritage between 1870 and 1950, and who we encounter in our main archival records of interest, but it may include some men and other women whose lives are sufficiently of interest to represent more fully.

Where the data is available, the below template should act as a guide for creating new item records for a Person of Interest.

Note that in some cases - such as when a women is listed as the supporter/proposer of the election of a man to, say, the Royal Archaeological Institute (e.g. [https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Item:Q232 E. Jackson (Q232)] - few details may be known of the person of interest.

''BEFORE CREATING A NEW ITEM ALWAYS [https://beyond-notability.wikibase.cloud/wiki/Special:Search SEARCH HERE] TO CHECK IF A RECORD FOR THEM EXISTS ALREADY (you may be pleasantly surprised!)''

=== Name ===

We want the label for each record to represent who women were, rather than - as was common when referring to women in the period - the men with who there were associated, typically by marriage. To support this ambition, please follow this guidance when recording names:

* Use the "Label" field to record a name, starting with given name(s) and ending with family name.
* Where a woman married, record in the "Label" field the family name most commonly occuring in archival material or by which they were most commonly known as (e.g. on Wikipedia/data).
* Avoid using titles in the "Label" field, unless given name(s) are unknown: e.g. record "Mary Smith" rather than "Mrs Mary Smith"; and "Mrs Smith" is acceptable only when given names are unknown.
* Avoid using given names for husbands (e.g. "Mrs John Smith") in the "Label" field.
* Avoid using initials (e.g. "Mrs J. Smith") in the "Label" field as these may refer to given names for husbands.
* Use the "Also known as" field to record all varient names encountered or known, including those rejected for use in the "Label" field by the above criteria.
