 Title:  First Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1930-31  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: A YEAR ago, as a preliminary step to beginning the inventory of manuscript materials in Virginia, the newly appointed archivist interviewed a number of historians and librarians in the State to discuss the general situation regarding depositories, public and semipublic, and the possibility of gaining access to private collections. An outline of the various sources of historical materials was subsequently drawn up1 1.A copy of this outline, "State Survey of Historical Materials" is appended to this report, page 8. and submitted to these same individuals and others within and outside the State for criticism. Their comments were helpful and encouraging and it is gratifying to find that, at the end of the year's work, the outline, with a few additions, has measured up to actual conditions as found in widely separated counties in the State.

 Title:  Second Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1931-32  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE survey and collection of manuscript materials in Virginia, now completing the second year of work, have followed the general method of procedure outlined in the first discussion of the project,1 1.First Annual Report of the Archivist . . . 1930-31 (University, Va., 1931), pages 12-14. and the list of new counties to be covered, as indicated on the map published in last year's report,2 2.Ibid., page 3. has varied only slightly in the actual execution of the program. By geographic divisions, the following counties have been surveyed during the year:

 Title:  Third Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1932-33  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE momentum gained from the two preceding years' work in surveying and collecting historical materials in Virginia has been an appreciable factor in facilitating the progress during the year just completed. As prolonged economic distress has resulted in increasing demands upon research organizations and special and general libraries of all kinds, albeit with incomes drastically reduced, so the need for preserving the raw materials in manuscript and printed form is more generally recognized. While the specific task must rest upon the local agency, adapted to the peculiar conditions and problems of the region, it is encouraging to find the preservation of social science source materials advocated on a nation-wide scale by the American Library Association and to see quickened the perennial interest of the Public Archives Commission, under the direction of the American Historical Association, as evidenced by its report on the preservation of local archives.1 1.The Preservation of Local Archives. A Guide for Public Officials. Prepared by the Public Archives Commission [A. R. Newsome, Chairman] under the direction of the American Historical Association (Washington, D. C. 1932). "There is evidence," as one scholar observes, "that in America we have come to the end of an era, and it is desirable that the period that is closing be as completely documented as possible."2 2.A. F. Kuhlman in American Library Association, Bulletin vol. XXVII no. 3 (Mar. 1933), page 130.

 Title:  Fourth Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1933-34  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE movement for the preservation of research materials, sponsored by the Social Science Research Council in 1929, is steadily becoming national in scope, and the report of another year's work in Virginia affords good evidence for this contention. While the project for the survey and collection of social science source materials in this State originated with the Institute for Research in the Social Sciences and the Library of the University of Virginia, its inception was made possible by the recommendation of the Joint Committee on Materials for Research of the SSRC and the American Council of Learned Societies;1 1.Cf. First Annual Report of the Archivist . . . 1930-31 (University, Va., 1931), page 7. and during the past two or three years the activity of other national and local organizations along the same line has further demonstrated its fundamental importance for all related fields of scholarship.

 Title:  Fifth Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1934-35  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: AN ANNUAL stock-taking in archival work during this era of rapid change gives pause for reflection. Expansion and planning, with wide variation in the modification of each by the other, may be said to characterize these recent years. The sudden expansion of research activity in the social sciences and related fields, quickened by the World War debacle, created a heavy demand for the necessary raw materials. Since economic and social planning were the crux of the new viewpoint in research, scholars called for every kind of published or unpublished material bearing upon human relationships, and those librarians in closer contact with this research took up the challenge to accomplish the impossible.

 Title:  Sixth Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1935-36  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: IT IS a commonplace observation that we are living in an age of rapid change. The statement needs no further confirmation; we meet with countless examples of it in our highly integrated society which in itself is an accelerating force. We are not surprised to find that intellectual as well as material movements, however local their beginnings, quickly become national in interest and scope, and common problems are solved through regional and national associations. Despite forebodings in certain quarters, the trend of the times has led us rather to expect that the state, whether the individual commonwealth or the federal government, will play an important part in financing or at least in administering these problems.

 Title:  Seventh Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1936-37  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: IT HAS been the practice in previous reports of this series to relate archival developments at the University of Virginia and in the Commonwealth to those in other states and in the nation at large, in order to keep abreast with the national movement in this field of scholarship. Events of the past year point to a new era in the science of archives in the United States, to large-scale co-operation in providing guides to archives and manuscript collections of all kinds, and to a journal for discussion of problems and policies. In the care and administration of their archives some states can boast of notable accomplishments reaching back several generations; others have undertaken their responsibility during the present century; and all have had the opportunity of seeking the counsel of the Public Archives Commission of the American Historical Association.1 1.Cf. American Historical Association, Annual Report for 1922 (Washington, 1926), I, pages 152-60. It was the pioneering of this Commission that led to the founding of the Society of American Archivists during the meeting of the American Historical Association at Providence, R. I., December 29, 1936; and it is also significant that the first annual meeting of the new society, June 18-19, 1937, was held in the National Archives Building, Washington, D. C.

 Title:  Eighth Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1937-38  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: SOMEWHERE between the librarian and the historian (or the social scientist, it may be argued) stands the archivist. Just what his status is among the professionals or how it is to be arrived at in this country has not yet been determined. That he is already here complicates the situation but at least keeps practical considerations to the fore. By many people of recognized intelligence he is classified with genus antiquarium because some of his kind are known only as guardians and preservers of ancient records from use. Like the physician emerging from the barber's trade in colonial days, the archivist aspires to professional dignity in his own name. In some states where he has the title, he is virtually an artisan doing odd jobs of reference and serving as scrivener for the legislators, or his quasi professionalism may be that of a politician among politicians. Among county and city clerks the title of archivist is unknown as applied to their position. In Virginia, for example, where the county clerks of colonial and ante bellum times were generally men of prestige and considerable culture, and where respect for this office has been preserved in some measure, training for the duties of office, if any, may be acquired occasionally as deputy, but the job is chiefly one of daily routine in recording current entries.

 Title:  Ninth Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1938-39  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE NINTH year since the establishment of the Archivist's office has been distinctive in two respects. The Archivist, Dr. Lester J. Cappon, has been on leave of absence by virtue of a grant from the University's Institute for Research in the Social Sciences; and it coincides with the first twelvemonth of occupation by the University Library of ample quarters in the new Alderman Memorial Library building. The former of these two facts has conditioned, and the latter has in very large measure enhanced, the progress of the University's archives during the past year under the guidance of an Acting Archivist.

 Title:  Tenth Annual Report of the Archivist, Library of the University of Virginia, for the Year 1939-40  
 Published:  2005 
 Subjects:  University of Virginia Library, Modern English collection | UVA-LIB-Text 
 Description: THE CLOSE of a decade of activity in the field of manuscripts and related historical materials by the University of Virginia offers the temptation to review briefly the developments in Virginia during the period and to relate them to the progress of this movement in the South and the nation at large. It seems especially fitting to do so because the 1930's have been a time of unprecedented advance in manuscript and archival work. If this progress has been particularly noteworthy in the southern states, it may be argued that this appears to be the case only because so little had been accomplished hitherto in this region. Undoubtedly the renaissance in southern literature, historiography, and higher education since the World War has created an increasing demand for the basic source materials essential to scholarship. Southern research repositories have profited by the experience of historical agencies of renown in New England, the Middle Atlantic states, and the Middle West. Even the "depredation" of private manuscript collections in the South by northern agents and collectors in the past has resulted in a net gain to research: the manuscripts that were carried off were, in most instances, more safely preserved in northern libraries than in southern attics; resentment over the loss of these records eventually moved southerners to take positive steps towards preservation of the abundant materials that remained; and in so doing, they found much that had been not only undiscovered or overlooked, but even rejected because of the narrow viewpoint of an earlier generation.

 Description: I promised to write to you from our dear Brothers, hoping that by my stay here my spirits would be better than when at home & I could write a more interesting letter. But oh how uncertain are all we promise ourselves on Earth. The Lord in his wisdom has seen fit to take poor, dear little Frank to himself & many hearts are sad like my own. Oh he looks so sweet, so much like a little angel. Oh I think so much of the joy in Heaven. Our dear Father has I trust met with his son, & his little grandson, & they with those who went before them are now praising that Saviour who bought them with his precious blood. May all of us prove faithful & finally meet them is my prayer.

 Description: Textual criticism is one of the few scholarly fields that can be talked about in terms of millennia, for it has been practiced in an organized fashion for at least twenty-three hundred years. A millennial year is a natural point for retrospection and stock-taking, and the most recent one, marking the turn to the twenty-first century, came at a moment fundamentally unlike any other in the long history of the field. Although differing approaches to perennial issues might have been in the ascendent at whatever past moments one chooses to look at, all those moments—before the last decade or two of the twentieth century— would have shared a dominant concern for authorial intention as the basis for editing. During the last part of the twentieth century, however, a focus on texts as social products came to characterize the bulk of the discussion of textual theory, if not editions themselves. For the first time, the majority of writings on textual matters expressed a lack of interest in, and often active disapproval of, approaching texts as the products of individual creators; and it promoted instead the forms of texts that emerged from the social process leading to public distribution, forms that were therefore accessible to readers.
