Overall, follow the procedure for cataloging a single manuscript, LTS Procedure 148. Below is the information that is specific to bound manuscripts.
300 field: physical description
If the pages are unnumbered, it's usually sufficient to describe the extent of the item as "1 volume" (or "(number) volumes" for a multivol). Do not abbreviate; spell out "volume," "pages," etc. If the manuscript has numbered leaves or pages, it's helpful to also give the extent in terms of the number of leaves or pages. If the pages are not numbered, you may give either an exact or an approximate total number of leaves or pages. If the text of the manuscript ends before the last numbered page, give the number of the last numbered page in the 300 field and make a 500 note about the blank pages at the end (e.g. "Pages 50-75 are blank").

300 6 volumes : $b illustrations, portraits ; $c 25 x 18 cm
6xx fields: Subject headings
Use LC subject headings as usual. Remember to hit the F11 function key to control the subject headings and subdivisions (that is, to link them to their respective authority records).
655 _7 field: Form/genre or other thesaurus terms
Form/genre terms for manuscripts can be drawn from the Art & Architecture Thesaurus or (less commonly) from RBMS Genre Terms or Library of Congress Genre/Form Terms (LCGFT). RBMS terms may be subdivided by country and century (or by country and decade for common 20th-century works such as novels). "Diaries" is a valid term in both thesauri, but it's helpful to use the RBMS version so as to be able to subdivide it by country and time period (we have many, many diaries).

655 _7 Clasps (Binding). $2 rbbin
7xx fields: additional access points
Make additional access points for co-creators of the manuscript, or other contributors such as editors, translators, copyists, etc. If the volume is a letterbook, for example, trace the compiler of the letterbook as the creator in a 100 field, and the predominant correspondents in 700 fields.
...
Note that you need not add $5 NIC at the end of these 7xx fields to show that they are specific to Cornell's copy, as you would do for books. The manuscript is unique; there are no other copies.
