Explanatory Note Concerning Manuscript Collections Cataloged in the Card Catalog

Prior to 1990 when archival cataloging procedures were adopted at the Ransom Center, allmanuscript 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 ofthe letter; andMiscellaneous: all other manuscripts and correspondence, arranged alphabetically bycreator.

Materials that did not fit into these categories, such as art, photographs, books, and near-printmaterials such as newspaper clippings, were dispersed to other Ransom Center collections forcataloging 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 = typedS = signedI = initialedMs = manuscriptMss = manuscriptsL = letterFL = form letterN = noteD = documentC = cardPC = post cardcc = carbon copyp = pagepp = pagesl = leafll = leavesnd = no dateinc d = incomplete date
