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.

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 …

George C. Marshall And The "Squeakings Of Democracy", Larry I. Bland

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; …

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.

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 …

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, …

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 …

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 …

A Woman's Voice From The Old Northwest: The Correspondence Of Elizabeth Margaret Chandler: Review Of Remember The Distance That Divides Us: The Family Letters Of Philadelphia Quaker Abolitionist And Michigan Pioneer Elizabeth Margaret Chandler, 1830-1842. Edited By Marcia J. Heringa Mason., Kendra Clauser-Roemer

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

From Philadelphia to Lenawee County, Michigan Territory, Remember the Distance that Divides Us offers the correspondence of Elizabeth Margaret Chandler (1807-1834), her family and friends. Remember the Distance is the first publication of Chandler's writing since Benjamin Lundy published her essays and poems in 1836 shortly after her death. An active abolitionist and author, Chandler wrote for the Genius of Universal Emancipation, an early antislavery newspaper edited by Benjamin Lundy. In 1830 Elizabeth, her brother Thomas, and her aunt, Ruth Evans, moved to Michigan territory. The letters begin 12 February 1830, as the three prepare to migrate west. They continue …
