Volume 42
Our editorial board is delighted to publish a new issue of Scholarly Editing. With volume 42, the journal continues to expand its topical, geographical, and chronological breadth; amplify the work of diverse voices; and advance all aspects of textual scholarship and recovery. This volume includes a micro-edition that is likely the first scholarly edition of a born-digital interactive work of fiction; conversations with scholars of Indigenous languages and Black heritage spaces; insights into the life of a free Black soldier serving in the US Civil War; experiments that foster empathy and tolerance; the challenges of using generative AI in textual studies and recovery projects; and much more. With this volume we are also pleased to announce that the US Library of Congress is now archiving Scholarly Editing and we have begun a partnership with the University of Virginia Press, the journal’s new distributor.
Volume 41
Volume 41 adds upgraded accessibility and audio content to enhance readers’ experiences, and once again reflects the journal’s commitment to offering public-facing materials with topical, geographical, and chronological breadth. This volume includes editions that expand access to documents that recover kinship and resistance practices among peoples of African and Indigenous descent in colonial Louisiana and that offer glimpses into Northern rural women’s marital, sexual, and reproductive lives during the U.S. Civil War; LGBTQ source materials for K-12 classrooms; decolonialist narratives of interactions between Spanish and Indigenous peoples in the U.S. Southwest; editorial interventions necessitated by wartime trauma; the affordances of digital tools and strategies to create innovative editions and engage with students; and the recovery of the lives and writings of Black feminists, Muslim women, queer coteries, and prison inmates.
Volume 40
Volume 39 added interviews and a section on Uncovering and Sustaining the Cultural Record to the literary and historical micro-editions and essays that have been the journal’s hallmark. Volume 40 further expands the journal’s scope to include disability studies, Holocaust studies, and works of creative rememory enriched by performance art. We are particularly pleased with the geographical and chronological breadth of the volume. These developments reflect our focus on public humanities and our interest in making the work of editors, researchers, historians, recovery practitioners, and others more legible to the general public.
Volume 39
Returning after a five-year hiatus, the new iteration of the journal expands on the work of the former editorial team at the University of Nebraska Lincoln to emphasize recovery, broadly conceived, with an interest in fostering public humanities.
