Abbreviations
Abbreviations and references: a general guide
In a series of publications which has evolved over many years there is bound to be inconsistency in the use of abbreviations and references. This page seeks to give guidance on the abbreviations which may be found across a number of working papers. Some papers have lists of their own special abbreviations and references and these should be used in addition to this guide.
Book trade abbreviations are normally based on those used by the British Book Trade Index project. Where this is not the case, the abbreviations are normally self-explanatory e.g. "Books." for bookseller. The following are the trades most frequently encountered:
|
BB Bookbinder BS Bookseller C&S Citizen and stationer CM Cardmaker CP Copperplate maker EN Engraver IN Inkmaker LB Librarian LI Lithographer |
MS Map seller MU Music seller NA Newsagent PA Parchment maker PB Pasteboard maker PC Pencil maker PD Playing card maker |
PE Pen dealer PK Pocket book maker PM Press maker PP Paper maker PQ Pen and quill maker PR Printer PRC Copperplate printer PS Print seller |
PT Paper stainer PU Publisher PV Paper hanger PW Paper hanging maker RA Rag merchant ST Stationer STK Law stationer STW Wholesale stationer TF Typefounder |
County abbreviations are also based on those used by the British Book Trade Index project. In cases where there is only limited coverage outside England, the three-letter country abbreviations are normally used for Wales, Scotland and Ireland, rather than those for individual counties.
