Manuscripts Collection Reader Guide 2 SELECTED SMALLER COLLECTIONS AND MICROFORMS 2410 | 07/07 INTRODUCTION

This Reader Guide contains a list of some smaller manuscript collections which can be difficult to find because they are known by a name that is not used in the published indexes of manuscripts which form collections of special interest, and of material which is in an unexpected location or microform format. Consult also Manuscripts Collections Reader Guide 1 ‘Principal Large Collections’. BSDS refers to Bibliographic Services and Document Supply. RBMRR refers to Rare Books and Music Reading Room. In addition most music manuscripts post 1500 are held in the Music Collection. It should be noted that in each case only the main groups of papers are given and there may well be other related material (particularly charters) which can be found by consulting the indexes.
