Explanatory Note Concerning Manuscript Collections Cataloged in the Card Catalog

Prior to 1990 when archival cataloging procedures were adopted at the Ransom Center, all
manuscript collections were described in a card catalog.
Organization of Collections:
Manuscripts for each author collection were organized into four categories:
Works: manuscripts by the author, arranged alphabetically by title;
Letters: the author's outgoing correspondence, arranged alphabetically by recipient name;
Recipient: the author's incoming correspondence, arranged alphabetically by the author of the
letter; and
Miscellaneous: all other manuscripts and correspondence, arranged alphabetically by creator.
Materials that did not fit into these categories, such as art, photographs, books, and near-print
materials such as newspaper clippings, were dispersed to other Ransom Center collections for
cataloging and storage.
Abbreviations Used in Descriptions:
The symbols below were used in combinations. For example ALS means autograph letter
signed; Tccms means typed carbon copy manuscript, etc.
A = autograph (i.e., handwritten)
T = typed
S = signed
I = initialed
Ms = manuscript
Mss = manuscripts
L = letter
FL = form letter
N = note
D = document
C = card
PC = post card
cc = carbon copy
p = page
pp = pages
l = leaf
ll = leaves
nd = no date
inc d = incomplete date
