Return to the Table of Contents
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.
-

-
T = typed
-
S = signed

-
Ms = manuscript
