Description:
The Model Editions Partnership is a consortium of seven historical editions which has joined forces with leaders of the Text Encoding Initiative and the Center for Electronic Text in the Humanities. The participants have developed a "prospectus" setting forth editorial guidelines for publishing historical documents in electronic form. There are also seven miniature editions for those studying American history.
Goals of the partnership include:
- To develop new approaches for addressing questions of intellectual access and context.
- To develop a generalized model for the process of preparing and delivering electronic editions.
- To create a series of sample editions which validate the first two goals.
- To provide clear documentation of the process for creating those sample editions.
