006   Additional material characteristics. Optional as needed

Use this optional field when a collection has substantial characteristics of a form of material that is additional to the main one entered in LDR/06. It is like an extra >008 field (>008 being non-repeatable) and allows for additional searching by format.

For example, the archivist might use it to capture the fact that an otherwise textual manuscript collection contains a significant amount of drawings. It is recommended that an 006 be added when you have a series of materials not represented in the 008, or if you find the bulk substantial enough to mention the type in the >300 field.

  iInclusive dates of a collection; If the inclusive dates are represented by a single year, that date is given in both places.
  k

Range of years of bulk of collection. While allowable, this code should be used only rarely in fixed fields. Use, for example when bulk dates are 1934-1935 with one extra date of 1971.  Inclusive dates would be 1934-1971 but it would be better to code for searching the bulk dates.

  qQuestionable date.  This code is really for single items, not for collections. See single-item manual for additional information.

(07-10)Date 1 NOTE: The value in (06) and the date(s) in (07-10) and (11-14) are determined by the date in the $$f subfield of the >245 field.  Date 1 is “uuuu” if you have entered  “n” in (06).  Date 2 is entered only if you have entered “i” or “k” in (06); otherwise it is “uuuu”  (use ‘u’ for uncertain digits in dates).

Place of  publication, production, or executionmauA two- or three-character alphabetic code indicates the place of publication, production, or execution. The place code is an authoritative-agency data element. The source of the code is MARC Code List for Countries that is maintained by the Library of Congress. For archival materials, the code represents the repository where the material is assembled; in our case, Massachusetts, United States.
