--- Dear Margo,
First, we should note that “Galicia” was never an independent country only a province of sovereign states during the last three centuries. Both subject headings, sh 85052795 = Galicia, Eastern (Ukraine) and sh 85052792 = Galicia (Poland and Ukraine), are valid. (so is the name authority for the “other” Galicia, n 79089622 = Galicia (Spain : Region)) 1.- sh 85052795 = Galicia, Eastern (Ukraine) Although there are 224 records in LC online catalog for “Galicia, Eastern (Ukraine)”, there are only 19 for “Galicia, Eastern (Ukraine)” and “Jews” as subjects The most recent is Lccn 2014943292 DS135.U43 ‡b Z35 2014 Galician portraits : ‡b in search of Jewish roots / ‡c Andrew Zalewski. Here are the subjects (first and last included) Zalewski, Andrew. Jews ‡z Ukraine ‡z Galicia, Eastern ‡x History. Galicia, Eastern (Ukraine) ‡x Biography. This record has a 040 DLC ‡b eng ‡e rda ‡c DLC which indicates that it was created at The Library of Congress The first and the last subject heading clarify for us how to use “Galicia, Eastern (Ukraine)”. Eastern Galicia is a province of Ukraine. The subject heading, sh 85052795 has a 781 giving us how to construct the string “Ukraine--Galicia, Eastern” Thus “Jews-- Ukraine--Galicia, Eastern—History” is correct. However, for a history of Jews in a city in Eastern Galicia, we don’t use the subject heading for the Ukrainian province, only the one for the country: Lccn 72950845 DS135.R93 ‡b K6567 Sefer zikaron li-ḳehilat Ḳolomeyah veha-sevivah (1972) First subj head = Jews ‡z Ukraine ‡z Kolomyi︠a︡. Jews--Galicia, Eastern (Ukraine)-- Kolomyi︠a︡ would be wrong. 2.- sh 85052792 = Galicia (Poland and Ukraine) Although there are 861 records in LC online catalog, there are only 91 records with "Galicia (Poland and Ukraine)" and "Jews" as a subjects. The most recent is: Lccn 2017058934 / 2017056338 DK4600.G3475 ‡b U56 2018 The Plunder : ‡b The 1898 Anti-Jewish Riots in Habsburg Galicia / ‡c Daniel Unowsky which has as first subject heading Riots ‡z Galicia (Poland and Ukraine) ‡x History ‡y 19th century. another one Lccn 2015519960 DS134.55 ‡b .M36 2015 Yehude Galitsyah ṿeha-ḥuḳah ha-Osṭrit : ‡b reshitah shel poliṭiḳah Yehudit modernit = Jews of Gelicia and the Austrian constitution/ ‡c Maneḳin Raḥel has as first subject heading Jews ‡z Galicia (Poland and Ukraine) ‡x History ‡y 19th century. which clarifies for us how to use the subject heading "Galicia (Poland and Ukraine)" It is to be used for works which deal with the historical province in the 19th century, when the work deals with the entire province at that time, and not in a specific city in the province. 3.- Finally, in your email, you mention DS135.G2 DS135.G2 is found in LC online catalog for two older books. This is not current practice; current practice has to include the date of publication of the book in the call number. Hope this helps. Do not hesitate to contact me if I can be of further assistance.

They both appear as authorized name headings in LC Authorities online. Can anyone tell me if one of them has now been superceded by the other? Or if they are both valid headings, what is the difference between them? I also note that there is no cutter assigned for Galicia under DS135, and I see books with those subject headings cuttered for either Poland or Ukraine. What do you recommend? I did see one book cuttered .G2, but that does not appear in the classification schedule.
