Field has no indicators or subfield codes; the data elements
are positionally defined.
When field 007/00 contains code k, it contains special coded
information about the physical characteristics of nonprojected
graphic material.
01 - Specific material designation
Special class of nonprojected graphic to which the item
belongs, (e.g., a picture).
a - Activity card
A card printed with words, numerals, and/or pictures to
be used by an individual or a group as a basis for
performing a specific activity.
c - Collage
Original work created by affixing various materials
(paper, wood, newspaper, cloth, etc.) to a surface.
d - Drawing
Original visual representation (other than a print or
painting) made with pencil, pen, chalk, or other writing
instrument usually on paper or similar nonrigid support.
e - Painting
Original visual representation produced by applying paint
to a surface.
f - Photomechanical print
Any picture produced in imitation of another picture
through the use of photographic process to transfer the
image to a printing surface. Hence, a snapshot made to
document a painting or a Xerox copy of a print are
considered photomechanical reproductions. Art
reproductions are
included here.
g - Photonegative
Piece of film, a glass plate, or pattern on which a
negative image appears, i.e., directly opposite to a
positive image (photoprint), slide, or transparency, used
to produce a positive print. Photonegatives do not
include negative photoprints, photoprints that are a
combination of negative and positive images, or
photograms or solarized prints, all of which are
considered to be techniques used when making photoprints.
h - Photoprint
Photoprints have a positive image made either directly or
indirectly on a sensitized surface by the action of light
or other radiant energy. The term photoprint
rather than photograph is used here as a more
precise term than photograph, which technically
can cover both the print and the negative. Opaque stereographs are included here.
i - Picture
Two-dimensional visual representation accessible to the
naked eye and generally on an opaque backing.
Used when a more specific designation is unknown or not
desired.
j - Print
Design or picture transferred from an engraved plate,
wood block, lithographic stone, or other medium.
Generally there are four types: planographic print,
relief print, intaglio print, and stencil print.
k - Poster
l - Technical drawing
Cross section, detail, diagram, elevation, perspective,
plan, working plan, etc., made for use in an engineering
or other technical context.
n - Chart
Opaque sheet that exhibits data in graphic or tabular
form, e.g., a wall chart.
o - Flash card
Card or other opaque material printed with words,
numerals, or pictures and designed for rapid display.
p - Postcard
q - Icon
r - Radiograph
A photograph produced by the passage of radiation, such
as X rays, gamma rays, or neutrons, through an opaque
object.
s - Study print
u - Unspecified
Special material designation for the nonprojected graphic
is not specified.
v - Photograph, type unspecified
z - Other
None of the other codes is appropriate.
Includes mixed media productions made by a combination of
free hand and printing techniques when one or the other
does not predominate.
| - No attempt to code
03 - Color
Color characteristics of the nonprojected graphic.
a - One color
Printed or executed in a single color. Used for
monochrome art works. It is not used with
photographic materials.
Does not include black.
b - Black-and-white
Printed or executed in black-and-white. Refers to
monochrome photographic materials executed in
black-and-white.
c - Multicolored
Printed or executed in more than one color. Used for
color photographic processes.
h - Hand colored
Image, produced by a printing or photographic process, is
hand colored. Rarely used with commercial visual
materials since these are not typically issued with hand
coloring.
m - Mixed
Work or collection is a combination of one color,
black-and-white, multicolored, hand colored, and/or other
images.
u - Unknown
Color characteristics of the item are not known.
z - Other
None of the other codes is appropriate.
Includes stained, tinted, or toned items(e.g., sepia
toned photographic items).
| - No attempt to code
04 - Primary support material
Type of material used for the support or base on which an
image is printed or executed.
Intended for use in handling and storage of material.
a - Canvas
b - Bristol board
Fine, smooth pasteboard used by artists and painters.
c - Cardboard/illustration board
d - Glass
e - Synthetic
Man-made substances other than
textiles, plastic, and vinyl.
f - Skin
Excludes leather, parchment, and
vellum.
Synthetic materials that are made to resemble animal skin
are coded as synthetic.
g - Textile
Includes all natural or synthetic fibre fabrics except
canvas.
Synthetic materials formed to resemble a fabric are
considered textiles.
h - Metal
i - Plastic
l - Vinyl
m - Mixed collection
Primary support material varies for different items in a
collection.
Typically this would be used for groups of nonprojected
graphics on various bases.
n - Vellum
Fine-grained unsplit lambskin, kidskin, or calfskin
prepared especially for writing or drawing on.
o - Paper
Any kind of cellulose-based paper.
p - Plaster
Includes mixtures of ground solids and plaster.
q - Hardboard
r - Porcelain
Used only for clay-based porcelain.
Porcelain-like synthetic materials are coded e.
s - Stone
t - Wood
Material that is based on wood particles or fibers may or
may not be considered wood. Consider particle board
wood.
u - Unknown
Primary support material is not known.
v - Leather
Animal skin dressed for use.
w - Parchment
Skin of a sheep or goat prepared for writing on.
z - Other
None of the other codes is appropriate.
| - No attempt to code
05 - Secondary support material
Type of material (other than normal museum matting) to
which the primary support (007/04) is attached.
Used only when the mount or mat is of historical,
informational, aesthetic, or archival importance.
# - No secondary support
