The system which I described in the opening part of my paper at Princeton was one in which the central computer is used primarily for the storage and manipulation of files. We now have a National Endowment for the Humanities grant that supports the development of a new series of programs which will allow us to automatically encode our computer files for typesetting. We have done further testing of this concept, and a report on those tests appears below.

Amid our reflections upon the wisdom of the Association's founders who gave this office a one-year term, and amid recollections of that rare whiff of summer breeze that swept across our Richmond dining room one weekend and blew all the pasted-up pages on the floor just before they were given their numbers, we apologize again to contributors and readers and note a few of the significant transpositions and other unplanned features of our May Newsletter.

Computers For Word People: Review Of A Guide To Computer Applications In The Humanities By Susan Hockey And Computer Methods For Literary Research By Robert L. Oakman., David J. Nordloh
Documentary Editing: Journal of the Association for Documentary Editing (1979–2011)
Any mention of computers among humanists is likely to arouse strong passions, but they are no longer simply the older, more absolute passions of disdain on the one hand for any diabolical plot to train a machine to do human-or, in cases of concordancing and indexing, vaguely inhuman-work, or on the other a wholehearted acceptance of electric salvation from drudgery. They are now more complex emotions: interest in dramatic possibilities but uncertainty about ways to proceed, or happy installation of computer components and processes but an expensive fear that someone, somewhere, is doing the same work better and faster and …

A Dialogue: Peter Shaw And Robert J. Taylor On Editing The Adamses, Peter Shaw, Robert J. Taylor

This dialogue is a feature of the Newsletter intended to promote that exchange of ideas for which the Association of Documentary Editing exists. Mr. Shaw was asked to focus his comments both on things done well and on things that might have been done differently-the latter request being an invitation to describe those alternatives to which an editor may, rightly, have said No. The review, with Mr. Shaw's name deleted, was sent to Mr. Taylor, who was asked to comment on the observations. Again, the intention is to foster instructive dialogue. Although the etiquette of some scholarly periodicals suggests that …

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.

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 …
