300

Indicators: blank 

‡a Extent: Record an item count followed by a standard term, in singular or plural: atlas, diagram, globe, map. 

For a work in multiple volumes, include a volume count in parentheses ‡a 1 atlas (3 volumes) 

For more than one map on one or more sheets, specify the number of maps followed by the number of sheets. ‡a 6 maps on 1 sheet 

‡b Other physical details: Use the term “manuscript”. When appropriate, record additional details on the medium, support, and illustrations. Precede by space/colon/space. 

Examples:

‡b manuscript, color, illustrated 

‡b manuscript on tracing cloth 

‡c Dimensions: Record the height x width of the map in cm based on the neat line (not the sheet size). Precede by space/semi-colon/space.

If any cartographic detail extends beyond the neat line, extend the measurement to include the cartographic detail. If there is no neat line or if the map, etc., bleeds off the edge of the sheet, measure the maximum extent of the cartographic detail. 

For bound material, record height and, optionally, width in cm. For multiple volumes, record the range of heights. 

Examples:

300 __ ‡a 1 atlas (3 volumes) : ‡b manuscript, color, illustrated ; ‡c 34-38 cm 

300 __ ‡a 1 map : ‡b manuscript ; ‡c 50 x 61 cm
