First Encounters With Documentary Editing, Or, Tales In Training, Amy Speckart

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

Which of these things is not like the other?

SELECTION, VERIFICATION, ANNOTATION, SEX, ALCOHOL, INDEXING

Asking this question of seasoned editors (at an ADE meeting) might skew the answers a bit. Or maybe I missed something when I attended Camp Edit. At least, that is how it seems having talked to several veterans of the Camp Edit of the 1970s, which had a level of camaraderie that quite exceeded my own, comparatively chaste experience a year ago.

In this and other ways, training programs in documentary editing under the aegis of the NHPRC have changed over time, reflecting changes in …

Presidential Address--A Salute, Roger Bruns

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

I have enjoyed the presidency. It has been exhilarating. I especially loved the trips around the country in the Association's airplane-ADE One. This whole thing about being president has been heady. Of course there have been the lows. My job approval rating, for example-it is still around 8%. That hurts. At least ADE did not invade Iraq!

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

As I speak here today, the end is definitely near for The Documentary History of the Supreme Court We have sent back the page proofs for the eighth and final volume and are now scurrying to complete the index. On 31 December, the project will officially go out of business. Of course, it would be difficult to claim that we have rushed these volumes into print. The project began in 1977. People invariably will say: "You are telling me that it has taken thirty years for you to do a history of just the first ten years of the Court." …

Ade Treasurer's Report, Fiscal Year, September 1, 2005-August 31, 2006

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

The finances of the Association for Documentary Editing have improved over the last year. This year, we had an increase of $6,438 in the general budget, giving us unrestricted assets of nearly $61,000. This increase was a nice change from three consecutive years of minor deficit spending. The increase can be attributed to several things: first, there were approximately forty more dues-paying members this year; second, the dues increase was in effect for the entire year; third, interest rates more than doubled from the previous year; and finally, several of the expenditures were much less than budgeted. While the addition …

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

Under the current circumstances of easy and widespread electronic communication, reduced budgets, and increasing costs for printing and postage, it seems practical as well as prudent to streamline the publication schedule of Documentary Editing by collapsing the Winter and Spring issues into one Spring issue (published in February) and the Summer and Fall issues into one Fall issue (published in August). The current issue (Volume 28, Number 4) brings the old schedule to a close; Volume 29 (2007) is transitional; and Volume 30 will appear under the new regimen of two installments that fit the rhythm of the academic calendar: …

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 …

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 …

Notes--Putting Materials On The Web: A Primer For Editors, Felicia Johnson

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 …

A Note On Identifying Source Materials, Robert Scott Davis

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.
