[DCRM-L] Wove papers: local note or not?

[Kate Moriarty]

I noticed in example 45 of _Examples to Accompany Descriptive Cataloging of
Rare Books_ (2nd ed.) that wove papers are not considered a local note or
local genre/form term (there is no $5 [INSTITUTION CODE] following the 500
or 655). Do you treat wove papers as common to most copies? Is the
assumption that printers worked from large piles of paper, probably from the
same stock? Does the date of printing impact your decision? Items I have
date from the 1790s to 1810, fairly early in wove paper's general use.

And would that approach also apply to colored papers? I have a 1796 English
pamphlet printed on blue paper. I don't know enough about the use of colored
papers but I imagine work flow and time constraints would cause most of the
copies to be printed on blue paper, thus making it a non-local note and
non-local genre/form term?

Thanks for your help,

Kate
