You may find looking over our publication "Guidelines for Producing
Local and Family Histories" at
<URL:http://www.sos.state.ga.us/archives/guidelines.htm> helpful in
specifying how archaeological texts should be prepared. We cover
issues of paper (it should meet the ANSI Standard, Z39.48-1992, for
permanence), layout, margins, etc. We provide guidelines for texts
that are to be commercially bound as well as those not commercially
bound (loose texts). I hope you find this of some use. Please do not
hesitate to contact me directly if you have specific questions
pertaining to our Guidelines.
