Hello Kate

This sounds like a messy one. My suggestion would be to use the latest
date on the map (sounds like it would be the latest amendment date) in
the 260 and then give the other dates, with explanations, in a note. The
last time the map was amended is when it was produced--or published--but
the additional information will be of use to your readers.

In Cartographic Materials, the most relevant rules are:

4F4 which instructs to add the date of distribution if considered
significant by the cataloging agency (the map was distributed after the
latest amendment and this is significant);
4F7 where the application 1e and the "do not consider" instruction at d
are helpful; and
7B9 about making notes about publication.

That's my idea anyway. Let's see what others say!

Hi all, I am very new at cataloging maps.  I have found some great print
and online resources to get me started, but I'm having trouble with a
group of zoning maps that I need to catalog.  In particular, I am
confused about the multitude of dates printed on the map.

For instance, each map has an "adopted" date, an "effective" date, and
then dates of any "amendments."  [no "publishing" date, per se.]  I have
looked at the records for already-cataloged zoning maps in our
collection, and it seems that the "adopted" date has been used as the
publishing date.  However, if this is correct practice, I'm not sure how
to create a new record reflecting the amendments on my maps in hand.
Are amendments considered editions?

I would greatly appreciate any thoughts you all might have.
