Title Case
When writing a name or a title, you should only use capital letters for the principal words.
Do not use capital letters for prepositions, articles or
conjunctions unless one is the first word.
Examples:
 Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs
Newcastle upon Tyne / Brighton on Sea
The DiMaggio Line
The Last of the Mohicans
Although title case looks neat, not everybody uses it. Many businesses use
capital letters for all the words in their titles. When known, you should copy the official versions.

THE MAIN WORDS ONLY
In title case, do not use capital letters for:
Prepositions
(e.g., at, under, near, upon, by
and of.)
Articles
(i.e., a, an and the)
Conjunctions
(e.g., and, or and but)
The first word of the title is written with a capital letter
regardless. For example:
The
last of the Mohicans
