Announcing E-DOCS, a scholarly list about historical documents on the
Internet
E-DOCS is a discussion list and website for professionals
involved in the production, distribution, and organization
of historical documents on the Internet. Using this list we
hope to foster conversation and information exchange about
issues relating to electronic texts, including access,
transcription, quality control, copyright and other legal
problems, document markup and annotation, teaching
applications, and textual analysis. E-DOCS will sponsor
reviews of websites and software, distribute information
about new developments in the field, host workshops and
encourage collaboration among content producers,
organizers, and publishers. E-DOCS invites subscribers to
submit their website information, announcements, teaching
materials, bibliographies, listings of new sources and
archives, and reports on new software, datasets and cd-roms.
Subscriptions are free, and open to all who are interested
in electronic documents on the web. Applicants fill out a
short description of their document-related interests. To
subscribe: send the form at the bottom of this message to
<[log in to unmask]>
E-DOCS is a moderated list. The editors will read
every submission, consolidate postings where appropriate,
answer technical queries and will assist with subscription
problems. While no relevant posting will be arbitrarily
refused, the editor may return submissions to the sender
for major corrections in grammar, spelling and
formatting, or to suggest stylistic improvements and
bibliographic citations. (If you mention a book or article,
please try to include full name, title and date.) The
editor will not alter the meaning of messages without the
author's permission. The editors will not publish flames,
personal attacks, irrelevant items, or items that should go
directly to someone else rather than the whole list. The
current editor will be identified in all messages coming
from the list. The editors are responsible to the
subscribers, to the larger "republic of letters," and to an
editorial advisory board that will be selected (volunteers
welcome.)
COPYRIGHT: All messages are automatically copyright by the
authors, with the understanding that "Fair Use" provision
of the law and the customs of the Internet allow for
cross-posting and copying for educational purposes, without
the need to ask the author's permission. E-DOCS is a
publication, and all messages are permanently archived. To
