Calendars.

Subject Source: Local sources
Scope Note: Registers of days or other contrivances for reckoning days, months, years, etc., such as a table showing the division of a given year into its months, weeks, days, years, or other divisions of time. A calendar may include important astronomical data, ecclesiastical or other festivals, and other events belonging to specific days. (AAT) In the published catalogues, the singular term 'calendar' was used for general material relating to the calendar as a computation of time. The plural term 'calendars' was used for theoretical works about calendars, and for separate examples of liturgical calendars. Calendars which formed part of a liturgical book were not normally indexed under this heading. Do not use either for calendars of documents : put under the type of document (e.g. Writs). (NLS) .
