Association for Documentary Editing

About This Association

The ADE was created in 1978 to promote documentary editing through the cooperation and exchange of ideas among the community of editors. One of the prime motivations behind the formation of the ADE was to create a forum for exchanging ideas and setting standards that reflect the ADE’s commitment to the highest professional standards of accuracy of transcription, editorial method, and conceptual indexing. The primary foci of documentary editing traditionally have been historical and literary figures and collections and the ADE includes both disciplines. As the profession has expanded, so have the subjects, which now encompass the sciences, medicine, philosophy, religion, and the arts as well. The majority of editing done on ADE-associated projects is carried out by university-based editors, researchers, and faculty members. Some are multi-volume editions that are being compiled by full-time staffs, while others are solo projects.
