- Summary:
- Categorization of Anisong manuscripts in the research corpus in ten repositories, five production methods (hands (1678-2017), typewriters 1984-1990), block printers (1909-2016), computers and handwriting (1995-2016), photocopiers (2004)). Transformations in the production and use of Anisong manuscripts are discussed. Application of new printing technologies to the manuscripts is analyzed against five categories, based on the use of modern tools for: production, storage, revision, ownership statements, and donation.
