Hi Stuart,

I think you're trying to look for URIs
<https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Uniform_Resource_Identifier>. The LOC URI
for "Graham, Kennedy" is http://id.loc.gov/authorities/names/n98087045. You
can access the URIs for LOC entities through the pages you linked by
clicking on the "LC Authorities & Vocabularies" link in the "View this
record in:" section.

Hope this helps!

*Toronto is in the 'Dish With One Spoon Territory’. The Dish With One Spoon
is a treaty between the Anishinaabe, Mississaugas and Haudenosaunee that
bound them to share the territory and protect the land. Subsequent
Indigenous Nations and peoples, Europeans and all newcomers have been
invited into this treaty in the spirit of peace, friendship and respect.*
