The UKMARC Manual

The British Library adopted MARC 21 as its cataloguing format in June 2004. Since that date, these pages have not been maintained. Information on our current practices can be found on our Bibliographic Standards pages.

Appendices

There are six appendices to the UKMARC manual:

  Country codes
  Language codes
  Geographic area codes
  Cartographic materials codes
  Physical description codes
  Punctuation
