BOOK - Abbreviations and Acronyms. A guide for Historians
by Kip Sperry.

Do you know what ARC, BIRDIE, DAMRUS, GEDCOM, NAIL, OVI or Opofer mean? These and many other abbreviations, acronyms, and initials are defined in this essential reference guide.

All genealogists and historians encounter abbreviations and acronyms in the course of their work. But even the most experienced researcher would be hard pressed to know the meaning of all of them. In this book, the author presents an exceptionally detailed list of meanings for abbreviations, alphabetic symbols, initials, contractions, and shortenings of words - those that are found both in original records and in printed sources. The listings, along with a brief explanation or description of each entry, are arranged alphabetically and appear just as they would in the original documents. This work is an ideal reference source for genealogists, historians, reference librarians, and others who often work with documents that contain abbreviations or acronyms.

201 pgs., Soft Cover, ISBN 0-916489-94-9.
