    Abstract
    Reprints of two early texts on indexing by Frederick Howard Collins: 'Making of an index' from the 2nd ed. of Charkes T. Jacobi's 'Some notes on books and printing: a guide for authors and others (1902)' and 'Subject indexes: some principles which underlie them' prepared for the Royal Society in 1986 for participants in a conference on an International Catalogue of Science. Michael Robertson has edited the texts and provides a background to them

    Abstract
    The British standard was recently taken as the basis for the new international standard for indexing, but unexpected cultural differences may still continue to produce surprisingly non standard results. Examples of indexes from recent continental European books show that they typically have multiple indexes in multiple volumes, long lists of unanalysed page references, and lack cross references to related concepts
