manuscript collection
Gathered original documents
A manuscript collection is a curated assembly of handwritten or unpublished documents held by a library, archive, or institution.
Collections typically center on a person, organization, or theme: the Lincoln manuscript collection, the university's medieval manuscript collection.
Researchers consult manuscript collections for primary sources unavailable in published form.
