How do I cite an unpublished manuscript?

This article says to cite it as an unpublished paper. My paper is in MLA format


Answer

According to the Purdue Online Writing Lab you cite an unpublished paper or manuscript in the following format:

Author. Title of Manuscript/Document. date of composition (at least year), along with "the name and location of the library, research institution, or personal collection housing the material."

For example:

Henderson, George Wylie. Baby Lou and the Angel Bud. Collection of Roslyn Kirkland Allen, New York.
