Mission Statement for Documentary Editing

Documentary Editing, the Association for Documentary Editing’s annual journal, is a major vehicle to encourage excellence in documentary and textual editing through the exchange of information among those concerned with documentary and textual editing and by promoting broader understanding of the principles underlying the practice of documentary and textual editing. The journal is a valuable benefit to members by providing (1) substantial review essays of documentary and textual editions across the disciplines, and (2) educational descriptive, illustrated “how to” articles focusing on technical aspects of documentary and textual editing as well as on the professional opportunities awaiting editors who wish to transform complete editions into texts specifically designed for a general reading audience.

The journal is to promote better understanding of the importance of professional documentary and textual editing among the academic community by (1) providing articles focusing on the value of documentary editions as scholarly works in their own right and (2) reviewing online collections of documents.

DE is to be the premier journal focusing on the field of documentary and textual editing and its value to and use by scholars across all disciplines and time periods.
