A Guide to Documentary Editing: A Revised Electronic and Print Edition
Creation of the third edition of the "Guide to Documentary Editing."
The NEH funded the first edition of the Association for Documentary Editing’s (ADE) Guide to Documentary Editing in 1981. A revision appeared in 1998, and for nearly twenty years, the Guide has been invaluable for scholarly editors, editors-in-training, readers of documentary editions and other students of American history and literature. As the time nears for a third edition of the Guide, it is clear that conventional print publication is no longer appropriate. Luckily, the very modern technology that makes an updated edition necessary supports a format that will make future revisions and modifications timely and cost-efficient. The ADE proposes a coordinated print and Web-based format to better serve the Guide’s widening audience.
