Series Editor—Adams Papers
The Adams Papers, based at the Massachusetts Historical Society in Boston, seeks a series editor for the Papers of John Adams. Since its establishment in 1954, the Adams Papers has published 46 volumes of the diaries and letters of the Adams family of Massachusetts; currently we publish two series, Adams Family Correspondence and the Papers of John Adams. Volume 16 of the Papers of John Adams appeared in early 2012. This replacement position will include a brief transitional period while the current editor completes his last volume. There are approximately twenty more volumes to complete the series.
Work on the Adams Papers provides a unique opportunity to explore the fields of late eighteenth-century and early nineteenth-century history through the correspondence and writings of one of America’s first families. The series editor’s responsibilities include selection and tandem proofreading of documents for publication, research and drafting of annotation, and taking the primary role in producing each volume’s Cindex-based index. The series editor will direct the work of at least one assistant or associate editor. The series editor reports to the editor in chief and cooperates in the management and promotion of the edition.
Requirements for the position include a History Ph.D. in the Revolutionary era or the Early Republic, mastery of the political and diplomatic history of the United States, excellent research and writing skills, and proven experience in the field of documentary editing. Reading knowledge of French and familiarity with book production are preferred; a collegial spirit is essential. Please send an application letter, resume and the names of three references to C. James Taylor, Editor in Chief, Adams Papers, Massachusetts Historical Society, 1154 Boylston Street, Boston, MA 02215. Review of applications will begin immediately.
