The 19th-Century Concord Digital Archive
I request NEH stipendiary support for editing and TEI/XML markup of the "Concord, Massachusetts Reports of the Selectmen and other Officers of the Town of Concord" (Town Reports, 1841-1865) to be published in the 19th-Century Concord: Digital Archive. These reports reference key figures in Transcendentalism, Philosophy, Government, the burgeoning Women’s Movement, Literature and History, while they also include figures less frequently recorded in historical documents--African-Americans, criminals, immigrants, etc. The reports are only available at the Concord Library in non-circulating print volumes and lack an index. Digitization and markup will make the texts freely accessible and searchable to both scholars and the general public.
