[DCRM-L] Illustrative content for facsimiles?

[Deborah J. Leslie]

Which cataloging code are you using? And are you saying that gold leaf is applied to the facsimiles?

Subject: [DCRM-L] Illustrative content for facsimiles?

Hello hivemind, I hope it's okay to ask a rare materials-adjacent question here.

My library recently purchased a couple of facsimiles of illuminated manuscripts and I'm not sure how to code the illustrative content.

The pages of the facsimile volumes consist of printed photos of the original manuscripts, with gold leaf applied in the appropriate places.

Would I use "illuminations" in the 300 $b and fixed fields for a facsimile copy?
