One way to handle it would be to treat it as an Integrating Resource.
For that, see Appendix K of Cartographic Materials, which comes down to
Rule 1.4F8 of AACR2. But then there are these problems: making a
judgment about
whether or not you have the beginning and ending parts of the resource,
or just some intervening parts; and if you don't want to go out on a
limb to
say that you have the last iteration, then your open date in 260 will
make it misleading for those who want to sort search results by date.
Maybe you
could make a local decision to put the first and last dates in the fixed
fields and 260c of your local record, even if you didn't put them in the
utility master record.

I hope this helps somewhat.

Hello all,
I am a rare books cataloger who occasionally catalogs atlases.
I am currently working on a city tax/property atlas w/no t.p. or
imprint. the map dates range from 1927-1957, many revised.
the first map, the key map, is dated 1933 and most maps are dated
1932-1934. I have no idea what to put in the
fixed fields, 260c or what date to use in the call#.
I'm a little unsure of what date to supply in this case and I was
wondering if anyone can help me or suggest where to look.

Thanks,
Silvana
