How And Why Ade Was Born
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
In April 1978 a group of editors meeting at the Franklin D. Roosevelt Library in Hyde Park, New York, heard John Simon, editor of the U. S. Grant Papers, explain the possible benefits that might result from a national association of documentary editors.

A New Generation Of Editors, Lester J. Cappon
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
As the number of projects increased, more editors were needed; and young historians were gradually attracted toward editing, to some degree impelled by the crisis in the educational marketplace. Editors of the 1950s and '60s had "learned to do by doing," applying their knowledge of historical methods to the task. By and large, they were seasoned historians who responded to the challenge of comprehensive editing and its potential contribution to scholarship. By the 1970s the multiplication of projects raised serious questions about the supply of editors and the training of neophytes. An interesting correlation during the quarter-century 1950-1975 can be …

Reviewing The Reviewers, William B. Willcox
Reviewing The Reviewers, William B. Willcox
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
The present level of reviewing for our editions is, to my mind, lower than that of the editing itself. Leave aside the occasional critics, high priests of ipsissima verba, who bemoan our textual impurities; look at the average, run-of-the-mill review. It normally contains a paragraph of mild praise for the editing, a paragraph on what the editee, if there is such a word, was doing in the period covered (this can often be written from the jacket blurb), and a paragraph that points out a few errors or, for lack of them, challenges a few specific editorial comments. The result …

Letter From The President, Arthur S. Link
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
The main purpose of this initial letter is to appeal to each member to constitute himself or herself as an informal member of the Membership Committee in pressing a drive for new members. I also want to emphasize that the Association for Documentary Editing is interested in having among its membership persons doing documentary editing in all fields, including persons who work in texts of ancient history, Arabic texts, medieval manuscripts, literary texts, and so on down to the documents of our own time.

Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
During this first year the ADE Newsletter has been, like all efforts, a bit untidy. We have probably paid too little attention to some important aspect of documentary editing. It seems to me that our rapid growth as an organization proved that the regular journals are not meeting our demands, but it may be too ambitious to aspire to publication of a regular journal. Perhaps subsidies for books dealing with the editorial process would be a better way to spend our funds.

Building on the base established by Robert Rutland, the 1980 numbers of the ADE Newsletter will seek to become an arena for dialogue about the craft of documentary editing. Dialogues are perhaps not always conducted in arenas, but then in his presidential address at Princeton, Arthur Link urged that we initiate "lively communication and discussion • • • to improve our standards" of selection, annotation, and methodology.

The Vicissitudes Of Solo Editing, Don Higginbotham
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979-2011)
To be the chief cook and bottle-washer for a project in historical editing -- literally, a one-person enterprise -- invariably results in problems and circumstances quite foreign to many of you. This editor is surely a jack-of-all-trades and master of none. He cannot assign to others specific responsibilities for periods of time or types of letters. It means, as is the case with the Iredell Papers, that the lone editor does it all -- searches for manuscripts, transcribes, edits, and so on. Indeed, during the initial years of the undertaking, I taught at Louisiana State University, which was far removed …

The introduction to Volume 31 of the Papers of Woodrow Wilson provided President Arthur Link with an opportunity to repeat some of his editorial rules. Their relevance to some recent pros-and-cons voiced on literal transcribing and other facets of editorial decision-making make these excerpts from Link's most recent volume appropriate.

In the 1979 edition of Studies, Dr. Tanselle has followed his earlier survey with a probe of specific problems. The Bibliographical Society of the University of Virginia has permitted the newsletter to reproduce several paragraphs from Tanselle's latest contribution.
