Upublished lists of many manuscript collections in the Library are available on request at the Staff Desk, as are summaries of the Add. and Doc. series. The published five-volume catalogue of the two-letter manuscript classes, and a subject index for these and certain Additional Manuscripts, are also available at the Staff Desk. There is an index to incipits of medieval manuscripts in Cambridge libraries, and indexes to the post-medieval Western manuscripts and University Archives and to Cambridge dissertations and prize essays before 1995.
