The Drama sub-section provides item level descriptions of manuscripts of Kaiser’s dramas, play synopses and translations. Within these categories, the records are arranged alphabetically by manuscript title. The files contain a copy or copies of one or more versions of a particular work. Each record includes title (for variations in title see cross references in the record as well as in the accompanying Index), inclusive dates of the manuscript, note, and accession number. The note provides information on the nature, form and extent of the manuscript, classification codes, stamps and/or notes transcribed from the title page; it also provides some details of the copy (number of leaves, quality and inclusive numbers of the photocopy, etc.). If more than one version of a document is present in the file, or if one version exists in more than one format (i.e. holograph, typescript), each version/format is described separately within the same record, and these descriptions are then divided by a semicolon.
