How do I cite an unpublished manuscript?

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According to the Purdue Online Writing Lab you cite an unpublished paper or manuscript in the following format: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