Trials And Tribulations: As Found In The Journals Of Samuel Kirkland, Christine Sternberg Patrick
Trials And Tribulations: As Found In The Journals Of Samuel Kirkland, Christine Sternberg Patrick
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
By day I edit the papers of George Washington, one of those increasingly popular dead white men. But on nights and weekends I spend my time with Samuel Kirkland, a not-so-popular dead white man whom I would classify as above-average. I was first introduced to Kirkland in the 1980s, and shortly thereafter I made him the topic of my dissertation. Although some might describe him as a "dour Presbyterian," I find him fascinating.
By now I am sure that most readers are wondering, who is Samuel Kirkland? and, why is he above-average? So let me briefly answer these questions before …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Creating a web site begins with the collection of resources, either primary or secondary or a combination of the two. Before resources can be identified as valuable and pertinent to continued scholarly research in a specific area and made available on the web, several different kinds of people invested in the project meet to discuss goals and objectives. First, everyone in the group acknowledges the relevance and importance of the resources and agrees that making the resources more accessible on the web will enhance research in that area. Then, the group takes on the task of getting the materials on …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Documentary editing relies on the correct and complete identification of the authorship of documents and imprints. Fraud and misidentification can occur, however, even when authorship is authenticated because a writer can create a document to mislead, such as trying to give the text undeserved authority and credibility or to present an alternative version of a particular event.

Editing Military History In The Twenty-First Century, Edward G. Lengel
Editing Military History In The Twenty-First Century, Edward G. Lengel
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Military historians are not usually accused of worrying about trendiness. More typically they seem like stodgy traditionalists, scoffing at postmodernism and its various spin-offs and fantasizing about putting Foucault in the path of a cannonball at Gettysburg and shouting, "Deconstruct this!" At academic conferences and in university departments, military historians are outsiders: stubbornly following tales of great battles and dead white males while their presumably more "relevant" colleagues don red berets and scribble manifestos in smoke-filled rooms. Documentary editors who work in military history are, if anything, doubly outsiders: fearing either to venture into social history, or to join traditional …

More Than "Rum, Buggery, And The Lash": Social History In American Naval Documents, Michael J. Crawford
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
This essay, however, charts a course to some neglected aspects of the social history of the American sailing navy and urges social historians to cruise in less frequented seas. These aspects include: women; hygiene; patronage of officers toward warrant and petty officers and ratings; and the life-course of warrant and petty officers.

Clouted By Reviewers: The Texts Of Garland's Rose Of Dutcher's Coolly, Keith Newlin
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Although Hamlin Garland made his mark primarily as a writer of innovative realistic short stories in the 1890s, he also wrote some nineteen novels, almost none of which ever attained the critical acclaim of his first collection of short stories, Main-Travelled Roads, published in 1891. The single exception is Rose of Dutcher's Coolly, his fifth novel and tenth book, published four years later. The novel traces the development of . a motherless girl from her childhood on a small farm in a Wisconsin coulee (a "coulee" or "coolly" is the French term for the deep valleys between high ridges in …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Given the all-pervasive nature of World War II's impact on American society, scores of socio-cultural history topics might profitably be studied using the published papers of U.S. Army Chief of Staff George Catlett Marshall. Examples of the kinds of issues Marshall had to deal with include where, how, and with what the United States should fight; the role of women in the war effort; racial segregation and social mores in the army and surrounding its camps; who was required to fight, why they did so, and what they got out of doing it; who was permitted to become an officer; …

Archival Code-Breaking: The Editor's Dilemma, Candace Falk
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
I became the editor of the Emma Goldman Papers while I was writing Love, Anarchy, and Emma Goldman-a biography in which the first codes broken were those of decorum. There was a kind of steamy delight on that day when I realized that the secret language in her love letters-the "m's", the "tb", and the "w" -were not the Yiddish words I imagined them to be, nor the clandestine political messages, but a playful way to dodge the Comstock law against sending obscenity through the mail. Sizzling epistles went back and forth between Emma Goldman and Ben Reitman, a man …

"Those Who Follow Will Have An Easier Task": The Correspondence Of The First Federal Congress: Review Of Documentary History Of The First Federal Congress Of The United States, Volumes 15, 16, And 17, Correspondence. Ed. By Charlene Bangs Bickford, Kenneth R. Bowling, Helen E. Veit, And William Charles Digiacomantonio., Dorothy Twohig
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
With publication of the official records and debates completed in the first fourteen volumes of The Documentary History of the First Federal Congress, the editors have turned to the final series-the publication of letters concerning the activities that surrounded the first Congress. The three current volumes cover Congress's first session, March to November 1789. From the more than 13,000 documents that have been collected for this series, letters have been chosen for publication that throw light on the working of both houses, that describe the social and political views of the members, incoming letters that express cogent views and inform …

Sanitized For Your Protection: Editing Classified Documents, Daun Van Ee
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
I started having second thoughts about giving a paper on the subject of working with classified documents almost as soon as I agreed to do it. In the first place, I'm not editing classified documents-or any kind of documents, for that matter-now. I used to, though: for over a quarter of a century I edited the papers of Dwight David Eisenhower at Johns Hopkins University. My duties there included handling all matters of classification and declassification, as well as physical, personnel, and information security.
Four years ago, as we were proofreading the index for the final set of Eisenhower volumes, …

There is a Chinese curse that goes: "May you live in interesting -1 times." Well, this organization and documentary editing in general seem always to live in "interesting times," and this year has proved no exception. Through the course of it, I noticed I had lost some weight. One day, while admiring my new Adonis-like physique, it occurred to me that most documentary editors are on the thinnish side. (Now Records people, on the other hand .... ) I wondered how it was that editors, who all of you must admit, are as desk-bound a group as can be found, …

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
Gary Moulton writes, "few events in American history are more alive today" than the Lewis and Clark expedition (x). Two hundred years after Meriwether Lewis and William Clark, along with their crew, embarked upon a unique and uncertain journey into the American West, numerous popular and scholarly histories continue to interpret and reinterpret the journey's purpose, meaning, and ultimate impact. Moulton has been closely involved in creating an accurate account of that historical journey, first as an editor of the thirteen-volume work The Journals of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, and more recently as editor of its one-volume abridgement, The …
