Scholarly Editing for Historians: an Introduction & Guide to Working with Primary Texts (video 1/3)

In this Royal Historical Society event, held on 18 July 2023, we offer an introduction to the scholarly editing of primary sources by historians. The workshop provided an introduction to identifying primary sources, working with a source, editorial conventions, and publishing an edition. The event provided two breakout sessions in which the editing of sources pre-1800 (Video 2/3) and post-1800 (Video 3/3) were discussed in detail. The event was hosted by the Series Editors for the Society's Camden Series of primary scholarly editions, who were joined by two recent contributors to the series. Speakers at the event Siobhan Talbott (Keele University and RHS Camden Series Editor) Richard Gaunt (University of Nottingham and RHS Camden Series Editor) Jayne Gifford (University of East Anglia and a recent RHS Camden volume editor) Daniel Patterson (Independent Scholar and a recent RHS Camden volume editor) About the Workshop The Royal Historical Society has wide-ranging expertise in the scholarly editing of primary sources. Its Camden Series of primary texts now runs to more than 380 volumes, covering source materials for the history of Britain, mediaeval to modern, and Britons’ engagement overseas. In this Workshop, the editors of the RHS Camden Series — Richard Gaunt and Siobhan Talbott — will share their extensive experience of producing scholarly editions and working with editors as they prepare primary texts for publication. They’ll be joined by Jayne Gifford and Daniel Patterson who, as recent contributors to the Camden Series, will share their experience of identifying and producing a scholarly edition. Part One of the Workshop offers a guide to getting started on a scholarly edition. This will include: advice on how to select a suitable primary source; options for publishing scholarly editions; approaching a publisher, and what to consider when writing a proposal; determining editorial conventions; and writing an introduction for an edition. Part One is open to anyone with an interest in publishing a scholarly edition, or currently at work on a volume. Part Two will offer more focused guidance for those currently working with a text for publication. In two groups, we will consider, in greater detail, approaches to editing pre-modern and modern texts, with a chance to discuss specific examples of attendees’ work of value to the wider group. Attendance at Part Two will be limited to 20 people per session (pre-modern and modern) to allow for a group discussion. Attendees will be invited to submit questions about their work for review in advance of Part Two of the Workshop.
