### **Alternative Title**
**Definition:** Any form of the title used as a substitute or alternative to the formal title of the resource.
**Obligation:** Recommended as appropriate; repeatable
**Obligation:** Recommended as appropriate; not repeatable
**Enter Data into Spreadsheet Column:** field_alternative_title
**Type of field:** Text (plain)
**Application:**
* Use for titles translated into English, titles with ampersands and numerals spelled out, etc.
* This is not intended to be a repetition of the main title.
* Ensure that the alternative title is for the object, not the title of the series or the collection, or for other related objects.
* Contact Project Supervisor if unsure whether an item requires an alternative title.
* If there is more than one alternative title, separate in field with a semi-colon.

**Example:**
The Sol Feinstone Collection on the American Revolution, ca. 1760s-1850s finding aid contains item-level cataloging. The title of each item in the finding aid contains a “No.” To avoid confusion in the digital library and conform to project standards as given in this guide - we’ve added the finding aid title as the Alternative Title and created a new title following RevCity guidelines.
