Place - edited title & using modern equivalents #30

Closed VickyTEI closed 3 years ago

I've changed the title from Place to place of creation so it doesn't get confused with Place as a subject.

I would only record the place as it is written on the object, and not include a modern day equivalent. These can change, so best to leave to the researcher to look into. This is how it is recorded in the rest of the catalogue.

Maybe change to if not appearing on work, use the current common name. Or would you use the historic name in those cases too to avoid anachronism?

And just re-read and that's already in there - ignore this!
