Samples:
Gardening/Botanical index
This sample has separate subject and plant name indexes. Each plant is listed by both its common name and botanical name. This type of index is an example of a situation where it may be desirable to allow more than the usual five page numbers for each entry.
Cookbook index
This index is an example of a modified lowercase cookbook index. The contrast between lowercase subentries and uppercase main entries can help the reader find their place in a long cookbook index with many subs. I can easily adjust the capitalization and recipe titles to match other popular cookbook styles as well.
Cookbook index styles
This short excerpt shows examples of a modified uppercase index style and an exact quote index style.

Historical project for the Harlin Museum, West Plains, Missouri

Biography index excerpt
This chronological index demonstrates the use of organizational subheadings for the main subject entry. This method of indexing biographies can be an effective way to organize large entries into thematic areas.
