List of MARC fields displayed in the catalog

This table lists the MARC fields, indicators, and subfields behind each of the labels displayed in Folger catalog records. See the Expert search section of Folger catalog search tips for information on targeting them when searching.

Important: Just because a MARC field exists doesn't mean that the field is in active or consistent use. Some MARC fields were only recently introduced, and won't be found in older records. Other MARC fields couldn't previously be used to display copy-specific information so, for example, most rare books still have provenance and binding information described in a general "Folger-specific note" (MARC 852) while inherently unique items like manuscripts and drawings use the specific "Provenance" (MARC 561) and "Binding information" (MARC 563) fields.

To find all records that use a given field, go to https://catalog.folger.edu and enter the three-digit MARC tag in the search box followed by a colon and "%" as a wildcard (e.g., 510:%). To narrow down to a tag with specific indicators, include both indicators, using "%" as a wildcard (e.g., 5202%:%). To narrow down to a specific subfield in the tag, include the subfield after the indicators (e.g., 245%%c:%).
