For pre-1800 European imprints and pre-1821 American imprints, we trace the publication date, printer, and publisher. For History of Science and Icelandic materials, we trace the date, printer, and publisher for all pre-1900 imprints.
...
For imprints of any date, we trace provenance, i.e. the names of former owners of the book, using appropriate MARC relator terms in $e to designate their relation to the book. Add $5NIC at the very end of the field, since the provenance tracing is copy-specific.
700 1_ (or 710 2_) for provenance
If the person signed the book: ",$e signer" at the end
If the person put a bookplate or stamp in the book: ",$e former owner" at the end
If the book was inscribed to someone else by the person: ",$e inscriber" at the end
If the book was inscribed to the person: ",$e former owner" at the end

For imprints of any date, we also trace a significant binder or a private press, using the appropriate MARC relator term. Add $5NIC at the very end of the field if it's copy-specific.
For a binder: 700 1_ (or 710 2_) with ", $e binder" at the end
For a private press: 710 2_ with ",$e publisher" at the end
