Rachel Kangisser map librarean -------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 1 Feb 2001 19:31:51 +0000 From: [log in to unmask] To: [log in to unmask] Subject: cataloging of maps Dear friends, we started cataloguing of our map collection and have met some problems we would like to hear your opinion about. In the example below - for those who do not see Hebrew fonts - the map was printed in 1948 by Survey of Israel. Which year should be given in the imprint field? The date of the last revision (1946) or the date of printing (1948)? If we are giving the last date (1948) can we give Survey of Palestine as publisher (Survey of Palestine already did not exist in 1948)?
