Why this record matters

The linked authority identifier is Q3259538. VIAF identifies the subject as 128923792. The Library of Congress control number is no2002088432. Authority coordinates are 46.850, -71.367. 1 of 7 selected statements include explicit references; 4 carry qualifiers and 1 use preferred rank.

Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
