Search the Reference List

This section of MTPO defines the abbreviations used in our currently available letters and writings. It provides full bibliographic information for works cited by an author's name and a date, a short title, or an abbreviation.

Works by some members of the Clemens family may be found under the writer's initials: SLC (Samuel Langhorne Clemens), OSC (Olivia Susan [Susy] Clemens), CC (Clara Clemens), and JC (Jean Clemens).

Repository sources cited in the commentaries are incorporated into the Reference List dataset.
