Building With Lincoln Logs Transforming The Lincoln Legal Papers, Daniel W. Stowell

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

The challenges of the past two and one-half years for the staff of the Lincoln Legal Papers have been daunting. First, we had to take a successful project through the transition from one director to another and from one form of publication to another. Then, in quick succession, we began a larger initiative-the Papers of Abraham Lincoln-of which the Lincoln Legal Papers became a part.

The Lincoln Legal Papers began in 1985 as a five-year project to locate and edit the surviving documentation from Abraham Lincoln's legal career. Fifteen years later, the University of Illinois Press published a comprehensive electronic …

Review Of Dear Papa, Dear Charley: Papers Of Charles Carroll Of Carrollton, 1748-1782. Edited By Ronald Hoffman, Sally D. Mason, And Eleanor S. Darcy., William C. Digiacomantonio

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

A prolific Irish Catholic family, only two generations old in America, is ruled by a stern patriarch who dedicates his sizable fortune (earned through a traffic of questionable ethics) to furthering his dynastic ambitions for a son who subsequently becomes a United States Senator from a state that begins with the letter "M" .... If you thought you knew where this was going, think again. The father/son team in question is Charles Carroll of Annapolis and Charles Carroll of Carrollton, who-to adopt only one of the several useful editorial devices utilized in Dear Papa, Dear Charleywill be referred to hereafter …

Our Frame Of Reference In The Twenty-First Century, Joseph R. Mcelrath Jr.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

Several months ago I began to wonder, what could I possibly say in this address that members of our Association had not heard before? How to begin after a full dinner, with an audience of slightly drowsy, cropful scholars who share so many of the same articles of faith regarding theory and practice? What had Mary-Jo Kline not at least touched upon in her magisterial Guide to Documentary Editing? What had we not discussed since the mid-1980's when I attended my first ADE annual meeting in Providence, Rhode Island? What kindly advice had G. Thomas Tanselle not thundered; which comic …

The Civil War On The Internet, John Y. Simon

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

You are about to read a paper on Civil War resources available on the World Wide Web by someone forced to acquire a computer by his dean over his strenuous objections. I now concede that she was right, but I still require assistance with computer problems, sometimes calling out in distress to the young woman in the adjoining office who grew up with and loves computers. What she can't fix requires a call to technical support people in the basement, one of them named Gonzo, and another named Trouble. This paper would be different if Gonzo or Trouble had written …

Scholarly Editing And The Relationship Between The United States And Europe: Recent Developments In The Marx-Engels-Gesamtausgabe (Mega), Malcolm Sylvers

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)

The present-day MEGA, which began in the early 1970's, was a second attempt at a complete edition. The first one, in the Soviet Union in the 1920's and 1930's, did not get very far primarily because many collaborators fell victim to repression by Stalin. When it was again begun, the MEGA was intended as an exclusive production of the two IMLs, although two-thirds of the manuscripts of Marx and Engels were at the IISG in Amsterdam In fact, if both the host governments were at first somewhat hesitant, this was not only because of the enormous costs involved but also …
