When cataloging an item issued in pre-reform orthography, transcribe the title exactly as it appears with regard to orthography, then make an added title entry for the modern spelling, following the rules for the specific format. For example, for monographs, make a uniform title (130, 240) for the modern spelling (LCRI 25.3A), unless one of the special conditions (see below) applies.
Example (Russian):
Item is a monograph. Modern spelling is given as a uniform title. Note that ь and word-final ъ, while omitted in romanization, are retained in the parallel Cyrillic fields.
| AUTHOR | Botkine, Tatiana. |
| UNIFORM TITLE | Воспоминания о царской семье и ее жизни до и после революции |
Vospominanii︠a︡ o t︠s︡arskoĭ sem′e i ee zhizni do i posle revoli︠u︡t︠s︡ii |

Bŭlgareti︠e︡ v Makedonii︠a︡ : izdirvanii︠a︡ i dokumenti za ti︠e︡khnoto poteklo, ezik i narodnost, s etnografska karta i statistika / ot Ĭordan Ivanov. |
Special Conditions:
1) If a uniform title must be created as a result of other rules (e.g. for translations, collective titles, etc.), make a title entry (varying form of title in a 246 field) for the modern spelling.Example (Russian):
Item is a monograph. Modern spelling is given as varying form of title in a 246 field because collective title “Poems. Selections” is present.

| VARYING FORM OF TITLE | Последние песни : стихотворения |
