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).
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, postcards, posters, and study
prints 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. Radiographs and 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.
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. Activity cards are included here.
u - Unspecified Special material designation for the nonprojected graphic is not specified.
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.
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 Does not include synthetics formed to resemble textiles.
f - Skin Includes leather, parchment, vellum, etc.
Synthetic materials that are made to resemble animal skin are coded as
synthetics.
g - Textile Includes all natural or synthetic fibre fabrics except canvas.
Synthetic materials formed to resemble a fabric are considered textiles.
h - Metal
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.
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.
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 secondary support
(007/04) is attached.
Used only when the mount or mat is of historical, informational, aesthetic, or
archival importance.
# - No secondary support
a - Canvas
b - Bristol board Fine, smooth pasteboard used by artists and painters.
c - Cardboard/illustration board
d - Glass
e - Synthetic Does not include synthetics formed to resemble textiles.
f - Skin Includes leather, parchment, vellum, etc.
Synthetic materials that are made to resemble animal skin are coded as
synthetics.
g - Textile Includes all natural or synthetic fibre fabrics except canvas.
h - Metal
m - Mixed collection Secondary support material varies for different items in a collection.
Typically this would be used for groups of nonprojected graphics on various
bases.
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 Secondary support material is not known.
z - Other None of the other codes is appropriate.

007/02 - Original versus reproduction aspect [OBSOLETE, 1997] [USMARC only]Defined codes were: f (Facsimile), o (Original), r (Reproduction), and u
(Unknown).
