[DCRM-L] MARC 561 and 562

Wed Jul 13 17:20:14 MDT 2022

Hi Francis and Maria,
We do this as well - using 561 to record all the provenance information (along with 700s for $eformer owner), and 562 to record other copy-specific information such as the number of a limited edition, the presence of stamps, author's signature, as well as provide more information about any inscriptions briefly noted in the 561, e.g.

561 1# Copy owned by Cecil Fenn Charles Parsons (known as Charles Parsons) and generations of the Parsons family before him. Originally presented to Tobias Rustat by King Charles II in 1664, with his inscription on the flyleaf. Tobias' eldest daughter Mary married a linen draper, Henry Parsons, in St Martins in 1715. One of his four sons, Michael, had a son John Weddell Parsons (1754-1825). One of John's sons was Charles Octavius Parsons (1799-1863), who "emigrated to Tasmania in 1823 and went into sheep-farming. His family there now have Tobias Rustat's bible and prayer book which was inscribed by Charles II..." (Source: Tobias Rustat : the very best of royal servants / Philip Lewin.)

562 ## Copy inscribed in black ink: "The Gift of His Majesty Charles the 2nd. King of Great Britain, to Mr. Tobias Rustat - Particeps bonorum Aeq: Malorum: Quid Retribuam? Anno Salutis 1664 An: Restorationis 4to." An ardent Royalist, Rustat is said to have saved the Duke of Buckingham's life during an uprising in Kent, and assisted Prince Charles's flight after his defeat at the Battle of Worcester. Later Rustat was appointed Yeoman of the Robes, continuing in this position until the death of Charles in 1685.

Amanda

Francis,

There is merit in keeping all the provenance information in a single field (561), even if some of it could also be recorded as inscriptions/markings. It is very useful when you can target a search to a specific field tag. It also preserves the sequence of the full provenance of an item from earliest to latest. Example:

Arms of an early owner on fol. 88v and 92v (quarterly sable and argent?); P. Aubert (ca. 1500, signature on flyleaf); Pickering; sold to the Earl of Ashburnham Dec. 18, 1847; Ashburnham Collection (appendix, no. 156); H. Yates Thompson; his sale (London, May 14, 1902, no. 1 and plate) to Quaritch, catalogue 235 (Nov. 1904), no. 109; purchased by J. Pierpont Morgan (1837-1913) from Olschki in 1907; J.P. Morgan (1867-1943).

If needed, the 562 field can elaborate on these markings, such as exact transcription, color, and more specific location of markings. 562 can also include other types of inscriptions and markings that cannot be associated with a specific former owner or are not related to provenance, such as pagination/foliation, watermarks, etc.

Hi all. As my repository considers application of standardized fields for provenance notes (abandoning 590s), I'm pondering the distinction between MARC fields 561 and 562. I wonder if the following summary is correct:

  1.  MARC 561 = RDA and DCRMR's custodial history of item. It does not include reference to markings/evidence. Example, from DCRMR:

     *   Library copy: Part of King George III's Library. Donated to the nation by King George IV (1762-1830)

  1.  MARC 562 = RDA and DCRMR's modification of item. It includes reference to markings/evidence. Example, from DCRMR:

     *   Library copy bears stamps and label of St. Ignatius College; signature on flyleaf of N. Blagdon, dated 1813.

The MARC-RDA pairing is based on RDA's element reference, but I feel uncertainty because I can't remember seeing examples of provenance markings (bookplates, autographs, and so on) in field 562, and the MARC guidance<https://aus01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.loc.gov%2Fmarc%2Fbibliographic%2Fbd562.html&data=05%7C01%7Camanda.double%40education.tas.gov.au%7C01988f73dc4542372bd908da64fa2e2c%7Ca9be3ac70c60491e8b3ba32f8f46aec8%7C1%7C0%7C637933322927523878%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=g1EiklXYzAb2iDO70tTsTNEVmsFdbX2tJMiHtFjnwYg%3D&reserved=0> isn't as clear as I'd like.

Is this 561 versus 562 distinction correct? If so, is it useful? Do other repositories use the two fields in this manner?

Thanks,
Francis
