[DCRM-L] Using manuscript waste (term vs. practice)

[Smith, Christopher]

I both cases I think the term Mending from AAT applies. Here's the scope note:

Note: Use generally for the process of making relatively minor repairs to an object, as by darning, patching, or joining pieces back together, without replacing large portions of the object. In the context of book and paper conservation, use specifically for repairs that do not involve the replacement of any of the original material.

I didn't get a response to this, so it's still up in the air. Any opinions out there????

Thanks!

Hey Nina, as it turns out, I have an analogous situation, where a single printed song sheet has been repaired on the verso with printed waste.  No binding involved.  Is there any "legal" way to use Printed waste, outside of the binding thesaurus?
Grateful thanks, andrea

Hi all,

I have a French book (1785) that has a damaged half-title leaf. As a repair, this leaf has been mounted on what appears to be a 19th C. letter (the verso of the letter is blank and it has been adhered, text-side down, making it difficult to read). 

I'd like to trace this situation in my catalog record. Is this an appropriate time to use "manuscript waste" in the RBMS Controlled Vocabularies Binding Terms thesaurus? I've never used the term and I usually think of manuscript waste as part of the binding, rather than the repair of a page, but just wanted to get an opinion before adding it.

Thanks!

Nina
