These Guidelines are applicable to manuscript materials of most kinds, produced at whatever historical or contemporary time or date; this includes manuscript books, letters, speeches, sermons, etc., typescript, typewriter or print-out from a computer prepared in manuscript format. They are intended for isolated manuscripts or manuscript collections.
