This project formed as a request from the Library of Congress to better differentiate LCSH for Cartoonists versus Comics artists. The group is also working on better differentiation from Animators; and also potentially on the art forms, too (Caricatures and cartoons, Comic books, strips, etc. and so on)
09/2025 - Resent the recommendations document to Library of Congress, in relation to a proposal on the newest LCSH tentative list (2504c) for "Comics writers." Four change proposals created to accompany the email/recommendations.
06/2025 - Recommendations sent to Library of Congress
03/2025 - Terms are being researched to better understand how they differentiate
