* Each physical occurrence (copy) of the archival materials may have only one Copy Status designated. If there are multiple copies of the archival materials, each copy should be assigned its own Copy Status.
Definition: | The role or purpose of each physical occurrence (copy) of the archival materials. The purposes are preservation, reference, reproduction or some combination of the three. |
Purpose: | Provides information needed to determine the proper use and storage of the archival materials. Indicates which copy is appropriate to pull for research requests. |
Relationship: | This element is independent, but all of the Physical Occurrence Elements are dependent on it. For each copy of the archival materials to have any of the Physical Occurrence Elements, Copy Status must be created. |
Guidance: |
Choose the correct term from the Copy Status Authority List. More than one Physical Occurrence Different Copies - Same Purpose Microform Publications If the materials have been duplicated as a microform publication, do not describe the publication here as a separate physical occurrence. Instead, describe it in the Microform Publication Elements. The location of each copy of a microform publication is described separately in a microform locator. Note
