Errata: One For The Road, Jon Kukla

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

In this fourth number of volume two of the Newsletter, we take our leave by apologizing for a typographical error in the ballot distributed with the September Newsletter. Although the slate of nominees was rendered correctly in the text, a vintage Tredegar Company typewriter (bought no doubt at a Confederate army surplus store) misspelled Michael Richman's name and prepared a ballot that read Michael Richmond. We apologize for that.

The Education Of Editors, Fredson Bowers

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

Ever since the pre-meeting of this organization that I attended in Lawrence, Kansas, the association of historian-editors and of literature-editors has seemed to me to be an auspicious one. Each of our sides has a chance to discuss its own special disciplinary problems in a necessary and useful manner, but always with the consciousness that we are also talking to a similarly oriented group, though in another field. However, in addition, I note that some programming has deliberately fostered what it may be pompous to call "cross-fertilization" but what at least offers the opportunity to survey the one discipline's general …

A Few Great Stories Of The Santee People, Edna Peniska, Paul Robertson, Robert Frerichs, Paul A. Olson

Department of English: Faculty Publications

Told by Many Nineteenth Century Santee and by Edna Peniska and Paul Robertson of the Modern Santee.

Gathered and Edited by Robert Frerichs and Paul A. Olson.

The fact that every known culture and civilization has acquired some sort of set of sacred stories is important. The eleven sacred stories in this work have multiple purposes. They possess a value as sheer entertainment; they also tell truths and lessons which explain the meaning of existence. Thus the Santee listener could fmd his place in the world and achieve an inner harmony through hearing stories. The characters in these stories are …

Simon Heads Slate For 1980 Officers

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

John Y. Simon, editor of the U. S. Grant Papers at Southern Illinois University, has been recommended by the ADE nominating committee for the post of president-elect.

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 …

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.

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.

Henry Adams Letters Ready For Press

"Verbatim Et Literatim", Arthur S. Link

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

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.

The Lost Art Of Reviewing, And Other Matters, R. A. Rutland

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.

Wanted: Exemplary Citations, Suggestions, Guidance, And Assistance, Jon Kukla

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

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.

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

Program Chairman Lester Cappon (also vice president of ADE) has asked that all members wishing to participate by delivering papers or, serving on panels should write him with ideas or offers to serve at the Newberry Library, 60 W. Walton Street, Chicago, Ill. 60610.

A "Find" Of Henry Fielding Letters

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

Until 1975 only 20 Henry Fielding (1707-1754) letters were known to exist, but the efforts of Martin C. Battestin, William R. Kenan, Jr., Professor of English at the University of Virginia, have led to the discovery of 40 additional letters in recent years.

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 …

In looking over the NHPRC's recent Report to the President, some of us here were struck by the choice of Commission members from the two large historical associations.
