Can anyone advise me whether or not there is a central source for the correct form of citation for manuscript references from all Archon repositories?
I am currently struggling to tidy up some less than perfect notes made on visits to archives, in order to cite them correctly in footnotes. I realise that it's largely my problem for not having checked with each office when I was there, but how many researchers do that?
If there isn't a central source, perhaps we ought to think of creating one, where each office submits its preferred form of citation.
