Let me add a related map reproduction question: how do you catalog
"printed-on-demand" items (assuming you know that to be the case)?

In response to this message exchange, our map cataloger comments as
follows:
This brings up a good question. How do you handle cataloging a
reproduction if you don't know the type of reproduction? Are we to use
"photocopy" as a generic term to describe a reproduction, even if it is
not *technically* a "photographed copy"?
Related to this, we here highly recommend ARCHITECTURAL
PHOTOREPRODUCTIONS - A MANUAL FOR IDENTIFICATION AND CARE, by Eleonore
Kissel and Erin Vigneau, 2nd edition published 2009 by Oak Knoll Press
and the New York Botanical Garden. This book gives separate
consideration to photoreproductions and photomechanical reproductions.
Included is a very useful flowchart to determine types of
photoreproductions (aniline prints, blueprints, diazotypes. sepia diazo
prints, etc.) Although written for architectural print curators, it is
very adaptable to the needs of map catalogers.

I don't know what the reproduction method is called but in terms of
cataloging ... it's an uncolored, negative photocopy (light or white
lines on dark blue or black background.)
007 $a a $b j $d a $e a $f z $g b $h b
300 1 map : $b photocopy ; $c 50 x 60 cm.
500 Negative.
That's from Paige's book on cataloging sheet maps.

Dear collective wisdom:
I'm cataloging a group of maps from the Iowa State Planning Board from
the late 1920s to mid 1930s. They look to be blackline prints but there
are several that look like negatives, though they're on paper. I haven't
seen anything else like this and was wondering if anyone else has
encountered something like this.
Thanks!
