Editing Dead Reptiles: The Tebtunis Papyri At The University Of California, Berkeley, Anthony Bliss

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

I am a curator, but some of my best friends are editors. I mostly edit myself. My collecting responsibilities cover roughly four thousand years of written history, so sometimes my focus is a little blurry. My own training harks back to the McKerrow-Greg-Bowers school of textual editing, but none of these three great editors prepared me for the challenge of handling thousands of papyri.

Wordsworth Senex: Review Of The Cornell Wordsworth: Last Poems, 1821-1850, Ed. Jared Curtis, With Associate Eds. April Lea Denny-Ferris And Jillian Heydt-Stevenson., Donald H. Reiman

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

The Cornell Wordsworth is one of the most ambitious and, on the whole, one of the most successful multi-volume literary editions of our time. Nearly forty years ago, General Editor Stephen M. Parrish and other senior Wordsworthians conceived the project as a way to rescue the reputation of William Wordsworth (WW) from what they regarded as his mistaken tendency to age his poems as though they were fine wine by repeatedly revising them (some for . nineteen years or more) before he finally released them for publication. An original aim of the Cornell Wordsworth was, therefore, to make available from …

Nhprc November Meeting

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

At its November 14, 2000, meeting, the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) recommended grants totaling up to $3.8 million for 47 projects. The Commission described competition for funding as "fierce," with requests under consideration at this meeting exceeding $8 million. While reaffirmning its support for the Founding Era documentary editions, the Commission noted a substantial increase in the number and quality of grant proposals in the State Board and Electronic Records Programs. The Commission was able to maintain last year's level of funding for the Founding Era documentary editing projects. However, the NHPRC Fellowship Programs in Archival Administration …

Two Hundred Years Of Acquiring The Fifty Years Of The Colonial Records Of Georgia: A Chapter In Failure In Historical Publication, Robert Scott Davis Jr.

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

In 1799, Georgia made the earliest attempt of any state to obtain copies of its colonial records from Europe. The history of its subsequent efforts to obtain and publish this earliest documentation well represents the problems and attempted solutions made by the many other such projects in the two centuries that followed. After all of the efforts to make its colonial records accessible, the state still does not have . a complete and credible publication of these records, and this goal remains elusive.

Part of the difficulty stems from decisions on editing, problems that originated in the acquisition of copies …

The Other Millennium: Review Of Yesterdays Future: The Twentieth Century Begins. Michael E. Stevens, Ed., George W. Geib

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

The widespread public interest and accompanying media hype surrounding the millennium celebrations of December 31, 1999, produced several interesting projects among historians and documentary editors. One of those is this slender volume, published in 1999 by the State Historical Society of Wisconsin. Yesterday's Future uses the pen and eye of the print media of a century ago to look at one state's responses to the coming of a new century. Intended as part of a series, "Voices of the Wisconsin Past," the book is a selection of nearly one hundred reports and opinions offered to Wisconsin newspaper readers a hundred …

The Artist In His Autobiography: Review Of The Selected Papers Of Charles Willson Peale And His Family, Vol. 5, The Autobiography Of Charles Willson Peale, Ed. Lillian B. Miller, Sidney Hart, David C. Ward, Lauren E. Brown, Sara C. Hale, Leslie K. Reinhardt., Wendy Bellion

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

Charles Willson Peale (1741-1827) painted more self-portraits than did any other American artist of his generation. Between the outset of his career in the 1760s and his death in 1827, Peale depicted himself no fewer than twenty times. He cast himself in oil paints, clay, and wax; in miniature, half-length, and life-size; alone, with family, and with strangers; and as a soldier, husband, father, scientist, and painter. dearly, autobiography held an abiding interest for Peale. There is no better demonstration of this than The Artist in His Museum, a monumental painting commissioned by the trustees of Peale's Museum in 1822 …

Human Skeletal Remains From 41cp25, The Peach Orchard Overlook Site, And Their Archaeological Context, Diane E. Wilson, Timothy K. Perttula, Bo Nelson

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Human skeletal remains analyzed from the Peach Orchard Overlook site (41CP25) were recovered from a burial exposed along the eroding shoreline of Lake Bob Sandlin in the mid-1980s. Although the remains appeared to be from a single individual, a minimum of two individuals were represented by the human remains studied by Wilson; there was also one non-human tooth (possibly a deer molar) that will not be discussed in this article. The human remains described here from the Peach Orchard Overlook site are from an Early Caddoan (ca. A.D. 1000-1200) period component, based on the recovery of Crockett Curvilinear Incised and …

Botanical Materials From The Griffin Mound (41ur142) And Underwood (41cp230) Sites, J. Phil Dering

Silica Froth: An Indicator Of Thatch Artchitecture, David H. Jurney, Velicia Bergstrom

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Archaeological reports of silica froth are noted from Kansas to Texas, and are usually interpreted as evidence of burned grass- or cane-thatched buildings. However, many archaeological excavations in the Caddoan region fail to mention this material. Does this reflect idiosyncratic factors in the formation of silica froth, lack of expertise on the part of excavators/analysts, or differential recovery techniques? Archaeological and experimental data indicate that Caddoan houses frequently left silica froth as a residue when they burned. The implications are that archaeologists may be missing this key architectural item and that silica froth may be used to infer the presence …

Three Mid-1800s Caddo Vessels From The Brazos Reserve, Timothy K. Perttula

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Although a considerable body of historic archival and documentary information is available on the Caddo Indian peoples that lived in Texas between ca. 1836 and 1859 -- the removal period -- not much archaeological evidence has been uncovered for their settlements. By the late 1830s and early 1840s, most of the Caddo groups had been removed from Northeast Texas as their traditional homelands were taken and settled by Anglo-American farmers and planters. Instead, they took up residence in Oklahoma, or settled with other affiliated groups (such as the Delaware, Cherokee, and others) on the Brazos River in north central Texas. …

Human Effigy Pipes From Spiro Mound, Leflore County, Oklahoma, Sarah White

Index of Texas Archaeology: Open Access Gray Literature from the Lone Star State

Animal and human effigy tobacco pipes are not uncommon in Middle and Lower Mississippi culture sites, but are often rather crudely worked. However, the five human figurine pipes found during the University of Oklahoma - Works Project Administration excavation of the Spiro Mound are unusually perfect specimens of primitive stone sculpture and represent relatively finished examples of prehistoric art. The accompanying pen and ink sketches of these pipes give a general idea of the artistry they represent.
