WORKS INDEXES
	A work consists of a discrete text by Ruskin with all its parts, accompanied by its explanatory apparatus. Access to a work selected from any of the indexes defaults to a work’s Main Text Page, linking to its corresponding Apparatus Page, but the reader may change the default in order to enter via the Apparatus Page. These pages are explained in Plan of the Archive.
	The Works Indexes list titles, which are assigned to works according to rules explained in System of Title Citation for Works. The reader can arrange the titles’ list in four ways:

•	By alphabet.
•	By date.
•	By genre and subgenre (with the choice to arrange works’ titles alphabetically or chronologically under a selected genre). Indexing by genre, as by alphabet and chronology, is comprehensive for all works in the edition; however, some works are classified unhelpfully as Miscellaneous, if their intention is unknown and their texts appear too unformed or ambiguous to be definitively identified by genre.
•	By group (with the choice to arrange works’ titles alphabetically, chronologically, or according to Ruskin’s sequential arrangement within the group). A group is an assemblage of texts that Ruskin arguably intended to form a collection—an anthology of poems, a series of sermons, stories gathered around a frame tale, a scientific dictionary. Groups are not coterminous with major manuscripts, which refer to physical documents rather than to the texts they manifest, and which were seldom devoted to a single group of texts (see Major Manuscripts Index Menu Page). Indexing by group is not comprehensive for all works in the edition, as Ruskin wrote many texts that he assigned to no group, so far as we now can tell. Groups are entitled according to the same rules governing titles of works, explained in the System of Title Citation for Works.
