This seminar in historical editing is designed to introduce students to the theories, practices and problems in editing, digitizing, and publishing historical documents. Students will apply lessons from readings in the development of an edited collection drawn from the Margaret Sanger papers. Students will be organized into groups and create mini-digital editions of a selection of Sanger papers, complete with all prefatory material, transcriptions, annotation, key word list/index/ search methods and other non-textual elements.
