documentary editing

Dear Fellow Early Americanists,

The Adams Papers at the Massachusetts Historical Society and the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore at American University have published their first-ever joint blog entry! Neal Millikan shares what John Quincy Adams had to say in his diary about Fillmore, and I look at what Fillmore and his correspondents wrote about (and to) Adams.

The Association for Documentary Editing (ADE) invites applications for its annual prize to documentary editors and students at midpoint of a project relating to the interests of the late Sharon Ritenour Stevens. Preference is given to persons working on women in uniformed military service or in various military support services (such as the USO) or on the home front during wartime and heavily dependent on documentary editing and document sources. Advanced students, scholars (including independent scholars), and editors may apply.

Dear Fellow Historians,

We've just published the latest entry in the Correspondence of Zachary Taylor and Millard Fillmore's blog. This one, on "Taylor, Fillmore, and the Constitution," comes just in time for Constitution Day. I hope you enjoy reading what these future presidents wrote (or didn't write) about the founding document.

With best wishes to all,
