Bossier Tribes, Caddo In North Louisiana's Pineywoods, Jon L. Gibson

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

Clarence Webb (1948) christened Bossier more than a half century ago. Its namesake was the northwestern Louisiana parish where several Bossier sites were located, but it could just as easily been named after Webster, Claiborne, Harrison, Columbia, or other political subdivisions in northwestern Louisiana, southwestern Arkansas, or eastern Texas where its distinctive pottery was found. This is Caddo country, linguistically and ethnically. Bossier is the issue of Caddoan cultural tradition, a culmination of agents, practices, and histories that transpired in the Red River valley and adjoining Pineywoods hills between ca. A.D. 1300 and 1500.

Bossier is best known for its …

Presidential Address--A Time To Reach Out, Dennis M. Conrad

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

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, …

Archivists And Scholarly Editing, Elizabeth H. Dow

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

In July 1995, I joined the faculty in the Special Collections Department of Bailey/Howe Library at the University of Vermont (UVM). I was expected to put the descriptions of their holdings online. I knew the little collections were easy (MARC records in the university's online catalog would do), but what about the longer inventories-some as long as 300 pages? That problem had me flummoxed. However, at the Society of American Archivists meeting in August of 1995, I saw Daniel Pitti demonstrate Encoded Archival Description (EAD), an SGML (now XML) protocol for publishing archival inventories on the web. I knew I …

Gary Moulton writes, "few events in American history are more alive today" than the Lewis and Clark expedition (x).

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 …
