Santayana Edition

The volumes of The Works of George Santayana are unmodernized, critical editions of George Santayana's published and unpublished writings. An "unmodernized" edition retains outdated and idiosyncratic punctuation, spelling, capitalization, and word division in order to reflect the full intent of the author as well as the initial texture of the work; a "critical" edition allows the exercise of editorial judgment in making corrections, changes, and choices among authoritative readings. The goal of the editors is to produce texts that accurately represent Santayana's final intentions regarding his works, and to record all evidence (textual apparatus listing variants and emandations) on which editorial decisions have been based.

Peirce Edition Project
  • The Peirce Edition Project was established in 1976 and has been part of IUPUI's School of Liberal Arts since 1983. Its mission is to organize and date the manuscripts and to produce an approved scholarly edition of Peirce's writings. This work is assisted by an internationally recognized team of advisors and contributors. Six volumes (of a projected thirty) have been published by Indiana University Press and plans are underway for a parallel electronic edition.

Frederick Douglass Papers

The plan of the Frederick Douglass Papers is to produce a fourteen-volume series of the edited texts encompassing Douglass's principal speeches, interviews, essays, newspaper editorials, and autobiographical writings. While early work focused on production of a five-volume series of Douglass's speeches, interviews, and debates, staff began preliminary work for three additional series: a three-volume series of Douglass's autobiographical writings; a two-volume series of his essays, editorials, and poems; and a five-volume series of his correspondence.
