Note: RMC and the Kheel Center routinely create collection-level records for collections of mixed materials (materials in a variety of formats) and sometimes for collections of print materials. In doing so, they follow the cataloging rules published and followed by the Society of American Archivists: Describing Archives: a content standard. (Chicago: SAA, 2004). Under these rules, the title in the 245 field is understood to be a made-up title devised by the cataloger, and is not given in square brackets; the collection's date or span of dates is given in the 245 field, in a $f following the title; and there are many other differences, including the routine inclusion of a number of fields not commonly used in cataloging monographs. For details, see the Manuscript Cataloging Worksheet and Details on Fields for Use in Manuscript Cataloging in the RMC Technical Services Manual.
