Below is a provisional schema for the Walter J. Ong Manuscript Collection. Chances are I will reorganize this plan as the year progresses. While I'll probably continue to refer to the collection as the Walter J. Ong Collection, its formal name is the Walter J. Ong Manuscript Collection. It's also been given the provisional collection number DOC MSS 0064. Assuming that doesn't change (it probably won't, but it could), the prefered/suggested citation for the collection will be Saint Louis University Archives DOC MSS 0064. The planned schema:
