"LOCAL HISTORY"-HOW TO GATHER IT, WRITE IT, AND PUBLISH IT'


(Continued from last week)


It may be that some of your notes will have to be based on photostatic or even on microfilm copies of ma- terials located in distant libraries. Methods and cost of securing such materials have already been discuss- ed in an earlier chapter. Your prob- lem now is to reduce these physi- cally peculiar types of research ma- terials to the common denominator of the note card. Your photostat will present little difficulty, for it is easily read with the naked eye, and you can treat it just, as you do a printed or manuscript source ion or- dinary paper. Remember, however, to indicate on your note card that what you have used Is a photostat [of the original. In order to read mi- crofilm copy it is necessary to have some sort of a reading machine and you will be obliged to make your notes while watching the film in the machine. This may be a bit tedious and hard on the eyes; do not plan, therefore, to do much microfilm


reading at one 'continuous stretch.


fuller notes of your interview with enough direct quotation for empha- sis and flavor. If you have done a good job of note taking promptly after each interview you will not find it too difficult to rework the information into briefer note form and to break it down into single un- its.


Notes on Maps and Illustrations When recording the maps which are useful to your history you may want to make tracings of aome por- tion or even of an entire map. If the librarian allows you such reproduc- tlon you may trace lightly with a soft pencil on a sheet of onion skin, tissue paper, or standard tracing pa- per. Be careful not to press too hard so that you will not deface the original . map. Once your outlines are traced remove the original map and copy the indications such as rivers, towns, etc., or the shadings and oth- er markings that make your map distinctive. This is your initial step in may making. If you wish to use this map in your book it will be ne-


India ink or to have someone else make the-drawing. Such ink is eas- ily photographed for publication and


even if your volume is not published it still insures the safeguard of hav- ing a map which will not fade. Charts and graphs may also be trac- ed and then redrawn with india ink. Your bibliography card will, of course, indicate as much data as possible about the map, what it Illus- trates, its date, its scale, its size, when it was found, who drew the original, etc. Your note card, howev- er, need only say that on a certain subject you have this particular map to include. Some writers attach the transparent tracing to a note card, fold it to the size of the card, and give it a subject heading. This is ad- visable, however, only if your map is a temporary one. Do not fold your good, india ink map, or a photograph of a map, for the folds may show when reproduced for publication. The pictures you want can, of course, be reproduced only by some photographic method. As you come across photographs of interest to your history you may want to make note of these, giving a brief descrip- tion, perhaps copying the legend and indicating the size. Be sure to indi- cate on your bibliography card where you saw the picture, for pictures, maps, and other illustrative mater- ials are not always easy to find a second time should you fail to lo- cate their exact position when you first see them. In addition to any .


It is best to group all your pic- tures and information i on them in one group, your maps in a second, and your charts and graphs in a third. Later, when you begin to or- ganlze your notes you will be able to separate these groups and fit them into the proper places in your history.


Assuming that . you have followed all the possible avenues leading to material about your history and have taken careful bibliographical and card notes on all these available historical materials, you should now have a great number of cards or slips, enough to fill at least several of your handy shoeboxes. These notes then, are the mortar from which you will fashion the bricks for the erec- tion of your historical edifice. Before you can begin to build, however, you must have an architect's plan for the shape, size and design of your cessary either for you to draw it in |structure. Such a plan'is what your


outline will be.

"LOCAL HISTORY"


BY DONALD D. PARKER Brookings, South Dakota


"LOCAL HISTORY"-HOW TO GATHER'IT, WRITE IT, AND . PUBLISH IT'


(Continued from last week) On Taking Notes


"John Henry caustically rebuked his political opponent by telling him "That was a stupid way to steal my thunder.' "


If the material you quote or par- aphrase begins on one page and continues over on the next, a simple way to indicate the stopping place on your note is by making a slanting line at the place where the page 1 ends.


Oftentimes you will want to omit parts of a quotation and inciude only the most pertinent words or phrases. Be careful to indicate oi your note- card that you are making such omissions, If the omission is at the beginning of a sentence use three periods (the technical names is "ei- lipses") after your opening quota- tion marks and do not begin the first word with a capital letter (un- less, of course, that word already has a capital letter). For example:


. . . thus the city fathers met in secret conclave to discuss ways and means."


" . . . Roberts spoke sharply to the assembly."


If you omit material in the mid- die of a sentence, indicate this also by inserting three periods for the omitted part. For example:


"Once in a while . . . strangers rose to eminence . . . after a brief period of residence."


Be careful, however, not .to omit such parts of a sentence as will change the meaning. For example, the original sentence may read: "Ev- ery written record that can be found indicates that John Doe was a thrifty, hardworking, honest, upright, albeit, a somewhat eccentric individ- ual.". If you should take from this only the following part: "Every writ- ten record . . . indicate sthat John Doe was ... a .. eccentric individ- ual," you are guilty of giving the wrong emphasis to the meaning of is the original sentence Even worse twisting of meaning such as taking the sentence, "Above all, the border county delegates to the· convention were very much against violent abo- litionism and shied away from all discussion of either pro- or anti- slavery topics, though they did in- clude a mild plank favoring. abolition as a concession to the opposing fac-


tion from the northern counties," if you quote from it only the following, "The border county delegates to the convention . . . include (d) a . . . plank favoring abolition . ... "


If the omission occurs at the con- clusion of a sentence, use four per- iods to show that the sentence end- ed at that point. For example:


"John Jones made a fortune and then retired to live comfortably on his income ... .


If you are quoting the last part of one sentence and omitting the first part of another, indicate it thus:


"John Jones made a fortune and then retired to live comfortably on his income .... his grandchildren found themselves penniless in the early thirties and the tradition of short-sleeves to shirt-sleeves was thus again demonstrated in the Jones family."


If, however, the omission includes : the last part of one sentence as well as the first part of the next, use four perlods to show that a con- conclusion of a sentence occurred at some point in the omitted part:


"When the immigrants began to


enter . . . . a new industrial pros- perity developed in the region."


If you are quoting something with


a part omitted from the end of one paragraph, but complete from the beginning of the next, do it thus: "That way the citizens felt that they were actively participating in their town government .


"Nevertheless, a few grumblers existed to disturb the equanimity." If there are omissions at the end of one paragraph as well as the be- ginning of the next, both should be Indicated like this:


"Often the circut preacher would stop at Centerville on his regular rounds


". . . The schoolmaster, too, was an important figure in the communi- ty."


If you skip an entire paragraph, run a line of periods across your card.


Sometimes your quoted portion needs amplification, a name inserted, a date added, a verb supplleđ ,to


make the material quoted more in- telligible . Such additions are called interpolations and are permissible as long as you are careful to en- close the interpolated part in square brackets parentheses are not the proper form of punctuation to use, for your author may have used these himself and later you will find your- seif doubting whether the insertion was his or yours.
