        Subject: Call for Faculty Consultants, Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents

Dear colleagues,

The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents (IEHD) seeks
consultants to join its faculty and develop online and in-person
training in editing and publishing historical documents. To be
considered for this position, please send a cover letter and CV via
email to Jennifer Stertzer at _jes7z@virginia.edu_ by March 27, 2020.

For more details, please see the full announcement below.


Sincerely,

Katie Blizzard
Communications Specialist, Center for Digital Editing

The Institute for the Editing of Historical Documents (IEHD) seeks
consultants to join its faculty and develop online and in-person
training in editing and publishing historical documents. Topics covered
will include but are not limited to the following:

   * collecting and cataloging documents
   * selecting which documents to publish
   * digitizing
   * transcribing, and proofreading
   * encoding
   * creating metadata
   * designing, researching and writing annotation
   * conceptualizing, organizing, and designing a publication (whether
     print or digital)

The IEHD has offered introductory training to small groups of scholars
since 1972, and now seeks to expand its audience to include archivists,
librarians, teachers, undergraduate students, genealogists, and family
historians by creating a free online course to be called /Fundamentals
of Publishing Historical Documents/. We are also designing advanced
in-person workshops for further training and skills development.

The IEHD seeks to fill four faculty consultant positions. Faculty will
help develop the online /Fundamentals/ course, which will be launched in
2021. The faculty will work with other members of the IEHD in a series
of four in-person curriculum workshops at the University of Virginia to
conceptualize and develop the /Fundamentals/ course. Each faculty member
will be responsible for designing several modules and will contribute to
the development of other faculty’s modules. The workshops will take
place in summer and fall of 2020, and winter and summer of 2021.

Recognizing that not all who practice editing call themselves editors,
we are committed to creating a faculty diverse in disciplinary
background. Such a faculty will include practitioners outside the
traditional field of editing, as well as practitioners focusing on
underrepresented subjects and materials. We thus encourage not only
scholarly editors to apply, but also public historians, archivists, and
other individuals with experience in the preparation, publication, and
promotion of historical records. Preference will be given to candidates
with experience teaching in-person or online courses and with
demonstrated experience using multiple publication platforms.

To be considered for this position, please send a cover letter and CV
via email to Jennifer Stertzer at jes7z@virginia.edu. Deadline for
applications is March 27, 2020.

The IEHD is funded by a grant from the National Historical Publications
and Records Commission. Through this program, the NHPRC seeks to
increase the number and diversity of historical documentary editors,
disseminate knowledge about documentary editing, and build the capacity
of attendees as leaders in their own editorial projects and in the
related fields of documentary editing, digital history, and digital
humanities.
