Based on an example in Cartographic Materials (2nd ed.) under rule 2B1, it
seems that one can use the amendment date statement (presumably the one
with the latest date) as an edition statement.  See the example, "Amended
5/31/76."  And then under the application of rule 4F7, it says that in the
absence of a publication date, one can infer the publication date from the
date in the edition statement.

On the other hand, there is an example for edition statement under 2B1 ("As
rev. by by-law no. 19, of 1963") that sounds a lot like an "adopted" date.
But I think it makes more sense to use the latest "amendment" date, if
there is one, considering that the law has been adopted and perhaps
amended, but the map has definitely been amended.  And the amendment has
presumably happened after the original adoption.

You would probably look at it differently if the map were amended by
pasting on changes, or if it had amendments written in by hand.

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.
