Subject: Question regarding practice in describing hand-col maps

Hello,
As a new cataloger of mostly pre-20th cent. cartographic materials I am
trying to
figure out where exactly to include the term "hand-col." for maps that
are issued
hand-col (wash and/or outline). Also how to use the term in describing
maps hand-col. after
issue. Including "hand-col." in 300b and using col. in 300b w/500 detail
note both seem to be
valid options. So, I'd just like to know if one practice is prescribed
or preferred over the other
and what current applications might be.
Any thoughts would be most appreciated.
