Hi Evan- I have been working in Teddy Roosevelt since March. I started with "in progress" and once that was close to done (before the latest document dump) I went back to reviewing. I am now in
2. Mar. 7-Sept. 15 1901:
Vice Presidency and McKinley's Assassination April 20- May 8
I am going in order and when I finish all documents in this folder I may go back to "in progress" in the new section. TR will take years to complete so don't get discouraged. There are others working here but with the volume of papers we are in for a long haul.
BTW, if you ever want me to review a page or if you have a question about a document feel free to paste it here. I would be glad to look it over.
I have been painstakingly working through the 1908-1910 TR Letters. I have almost completed the entirety of one section -- entering over 500 files "for review" the past few weeks. It certainly would be helpful to buddy up to get these approved (where appropriate) or re-edited. If you have time to do a few a week (slowly as you have time) it would really help. I can do the same for you too of course - just let me know the section!
The section I have mostly completed is:
Theodore Roosevelt Papers: Series 1: Letters and Related Material, 1759-1919; 1908, Dec. 20-1909, Jan. 25
I had to re-open a number of completed documents while doing this, as there were many errors in transcription of names, places, etc. It constantly amazes me that people will just make things up when they can't quite read text, but they do...
You're welcome Diane. I will finish those up today. Regardless of progress I will move the "in progress" pages to review and will look at the other pages today.
Hi Diane- I accepted the ones in "Review" and left the ones "in progress". I made no changes to the first two and made a few suggestions on the first page of the third item. I have looked at them numerous times and can do no better so I figured I would leave them for you for now and you can let me know what you want to do.
Henry Rosenberg - I am hoping you can help with a quick review of section #91. There are some open documents I can't resolve and a few German ones - but otherwise scrubbed. Thanks!
Diane- You seem to be following me. I reviewed that section not too long ago but I will be glad to go through it again. What do you want me to do with "In Progress"? Do you want to go through them again or do you want me to submit if I can do no more with them?
Thanks! I reopened some closed documents with errors (my typical method) so there may be new items for you - not sure. I would leave "in progress" if you still have questions on them.
As always - thanks for your assistance and advice.
Okay Diane. I am working through the section and will treat it as if I have not seen it before. I will use my judgment for "In Progress" but I lean toward passing it forward at this point. After all, we have done the best we could and may just need to move it along. Always glad to help and I truly appreciate our collaboration.
Fantastic! Thanks for all the scrutiny. Aside from 300-301 (German) there appear to be 7 still needing review. Possibly I came along and edited - not sure. If you can take one final look at that I think we can call it a wrap.
Henry Rosenberg - I’m still slightly ahead of you(97) but have shifted to go back and do a bit of cleanup of early sections (missing signatures, etc). I have two very small bits I’d love you to look at, as you are a handwriting master!
Could you please look at the remaining “in progress” pages from sections 19 and 20 below. There are a few bits that have be stymied. I can approve right after you move them into review. Don’t worry about 21 yet. Thanks, as always!
