Online Editions
The Eleanor Roosevelt Papers Project is committed to making Roosevelt's documentary record available online and free of charge, while maintaining the same high editorial standards as in our published editions. Our largest online editions, My Day, If You Ask Me and Roosevelt's radio and television transcripts, make comprehensive collections available for public use. The JFK mini-edition and the First Lady of the World, on the other hand, are smaller, carefully curated selections of documents. We have included other important documents, with no obvious fit within our other online editions, in miscellaneous documents.
Because these editions represent more than a decade of work and were completed under different editors and with different technologies, they are not uniform in editorial method, coding or presentation. In all cases, any deviations from our general editorial methods have been noted. Our radio and television project is ongoing, so we are regularly adding new transcriptions, as well as new information about Eleanor Roosevelt's media career.
The ERPP is moving toward a more standardized online publication format, and our 2016 move to this website is a step in that direction. Our transformation is not, however, complete. In the near future, we hope to be able to code all of our online documents in TEI 5, improve search functionality on the website and better index the materials available here, all while continuing to add new materials to the site. In the meantime, we hope you will pardon our dust, so to speak. Please also consider supporting ERPP in these efforts.
