Series II. Publications (1960s-1980), 1940s-1998 (bulk 1963-1979)
Extent
Scope and Contents Note
The Publications, 1960s-1980s series includes the Editorial Department files primarily in relation to the production of the Quarterly from the mid-1960s to 1980. Many of these files include correspondence with the authors of articles for the Quarterly, and these files commonly include the author's original submission, the editor's comments, commentary from the N-YHS Publications Committee, and galley proofs. The series also includes correspondence concerning the design and printing of the Quarterly, production expense budget data, work files with edited copy of book reviews for the Quarterly and of the N-YHS Annual Report, and other matter.
Arrangement Note
The series is organized in two subseries:
II.A. Correspondence by Author
II.B. Other Correspondence and Work Files
Processing Information Note
This series was processed perhaps circa 2000, with documents transferred from original folders to archival containers. In December 2015, project archivist Larry Weimer made minor changes to the arrangement and provided description in a finding aid for the series.
Subseries II.A. Correspondence by Author, 1957-1980
Extent
Scope and Contents Note
The Correspondence by Author subseries includes correspondence between the N-YHS Editorial Department and the authors of, primarily, articles for the N-YHS Quarterly. The bulk of the material relates to published articles, with a few exceptions for unpublished matter. The correspondence concerns the communication of edits to the author, transmittals of various versions of the article, and obtaining permissions for image reproductions. Most of these are straightforward exchanges leading to the final, polished product, but others reflect a more intense editing process and some editor/author friction.
Most of the folders include the galley proofs with author edits noted. Many folders include the initial or edited manuscript submission, with annotations, and those folders that include the manuscript are noted in the container list. Many of the folders also include the informal notes with commentary exchanged between the Editorial Department, Director James Heslin, and the Publication Committee regarding whether to publish the article, its importance, suitability for the Quarterly, quality of the author's argument and writing, and need for edits. A small number of folders include reader reactions to the article.

The subseries is arranged in alphabetical order, by author. The folder labels also include the shorthand article reference included on the original labels.
