Comprehensive Text Processing And The Papers Of Henry Laurens, Part 2, David R. Chesnutt Jan 1980

Comprehensive Text Processing And The Papers Of Henry Laurens, Part 2, David R. Chesnutt

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

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.

Errata: Second In A Seemingly Endless Series, Jon Kukla

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

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 Jan 1980

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 Jan 1980

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

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

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.

The Education Of Editors, Fredson Bowers Jan 1980

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 …

The Vicissitudes Of Solo Editing, Don Higginbotham Jan 1979

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 …

Reviewing The Reviewers, William B. Willcox Jan 1979

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 Jan 1979

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.

"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 Jan 1979

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.

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.

A New Generation Of Editors, Lester J. Cappon Jan 1979

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 …
