Subject: Debut of Scholarly Editing: The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing

X-posted:

We are delighted to announce the debut of /Scholarly Editing: The Annual of the Association for Documentary Editing, /now online at scholarlyediting.org <http://scholarlyediting.org/>. Published for over
30 years as a print publication titled /Documentary Editing/, /Scholarly Editing/ continues to publish articles about the theory and practice of editing and reviews of new editions. In addition to this material, /Scholarly Editing /offers new, innovative content: the journal is among the first--if not the first--to publish peer-reviewed *editions* of primary source materials of cultural significance. We are pleased not only to present editors with a rigorously peer-reviewed publication platform, but also to share fascinating documents from cultural history with the reading public. All of this material is available freely online and is completely open-access.

Sincerely,

Amanda Gailey and Andrew Jewell, editors
