Corporate bodies
Corporate Bodiesis one of those awkward terms that describes something we know well (all those things in our life that are made up of a number of people) for which we do not have one good term. Corporate body is librarian shorthand for "any named group that acts as one" — borrowing the legal notion of a body corporate (a group personified as a single entity) while deliberately dropping the requirement that it be a legally incorporated business. It's the umbrella term that lets a business, a government agency, a church, a conference, and a one-off festival all be handled the same way: as a collective author and subject in the catalogue.

Overview
Each Individual Corporate Bodies Page documents a single organization, business, institution, or other collective entity mentioned in Fear's writing, standardized into a consistent schema so that corporate bodies can be searched and cross-referenced across the Fear Project. Every page is built from three core components, described below.
1. Basic Info
| Full Name & Location | The corporate body's name together with its city/town and state or country — e.g. "Palace Hotel, San Francisco, California". |
|---|---|
| Description | Descriptive text taken verbatim as it appears in Fear, preserving his original wording and spelling. |
2. Type
Every corporate body is tagged with one or more of the following controlled terms describing what kind of entity it is:
- Hospitality/Commercial
- Association/Society
- Publishing/Media
- Financial
- Educational
- Theater/Performance
- Religious
- Transportation
3. Alphabetical Index
Two companion indexes support navigation across all corporate body pages:
- Complete List
- Every corporate body mentioned in Fear, listed alphabetically from A to Z, linking out to its individual page.
- Cross-Referenced Index
- The same list of corporate bodies, cross-referenced by type and by the people and places with which they are associated.
Note: A corporate body may carry multiple Type tags (e.g. an entity that is both Publishing/Media and Association/Society). Description text should be transcribed exactly as written by Fear, including archaic spelling or organizational names that differ from modern usage.
