L/O HISTORICAL SCIENCES
L 2 common subdivisionsAdd to L2 numbers 2/9 from Aux. 1
L 24 persons (i.e. historians) in the subject*collect works about particular historians here
L29 6 historical personages other than historians; add first 3letters from subject's name (e.g. "had" for Hadrian)
L 3 relations with other subjects.Add letters A/Z from whole classification
LA/B ANCILLARY HISTORICAL SCIENCESNote: for archaeology and specific ancillaries within period subdivisionsintroduced by the "by period" letter D (where D enumerates periods ofpolitical history) , use intercalator A to introduce letters A/B following L below.
LA ARCHAEOLOGY & PREHISTORYNote: the archaeology and 'history' of all prehistoric societies isclassified at LA: the archaeology of all societies in theirhistoric phases should be classified at LN/O. Libraries wishing tocollocate archaeology of the historic phase with archaeology ratherthan history (not recommended) should follow the instructions given at LAD Y
LA 23R G fictionLA 23R S humorous treatmentsLA 23T personal viewpoints, memoirsLA 23X N codices (for Reproductions of ancient documents)
LA 24 A/Z archaeologistsLA 247 history of archaeologistsLA 249 biography of archaeologistsLA 25 organisations
LA 26A study and teaching, education in archaeologyteaching methods etc. add to LA 26A letters following J from Class J
LA 26Q V museum catalogues
LA 28 placeAdd letters from Aux. 2 to indicate places to a greaterdegree of specificity than would be otherwise shown in theclassmark. Omit letters from the auxiliary schedule ifthey convey redundant information. E.g. NC 28F R"Cambridgeshire: Middle Ages" is a combination of NC"Great Britain: Middle Ages" + EFR "Cambridgeshire" fromAux. 2. The E "Great Britain" is omitted because its
5
concept is already shown by the main classmark.LA 29 locality, A/Z (Use this for sites. Do not use 28 and 29 together.)

NB Synthesis from KSK/KSLAt this point in the schedule, take from KSK/KSL only what is needed forthe classification of artefacts; the larger & more abstract concepts, theinferences about ancient systems of language, religion & trade, theapplication of scientific techniques to archaeological finds (as in
7
palaeobotany) or of archaeology to ancient science & technology (as inarchaeoastronomy) will fit more usefully elsewhere, esp. at LA8 & LA9.

Option 1This enables the classifier to arrange works chronologically, subdivided by topicSubject analysis will give the following string:
Place - Period - Aspect - Topice.g. France - 18th century - Political history - Government
For Option 1 omit the narrow period marker [D] where shown and use main aspect letters only
LC - General and politicalLE - Cultural historyLH -EconomicLJ - SocialLL - Religious
Option 2This option enables to classifier to group aspects of history under a broad period for each place, and then toarrange topics chronologically within each aspect of history, to give
Place - Broad period - Aspect - Narrow period - TopicGreat Britain - Tudor period - Economic history - reign of Henry VIII - Taxation
To use this option, retain the narrow period marker [D] where shown to indicate general or political historyin each period. Substitute for D the "by period" letters shown following L in LC-LM for alternative aspects.
Option 3This option enables history of a nation to be arranged chronologically by aspect
Place - Aspect - PeriodUnited States - Political history - 20th century
Use notation for the country, followed by C-L (as above), then subdivide by period letters following [D]

The divisions by region are based on those in the SmithsonianInstitution�s Handbook of North American Indians. To avoidcross-classification, let us use them for the historic period also.
For cross-regional works and works about the United States as a whole, useODA.
