The standard source on transcribing and editing historical documents is
Mary-Jo Kline's A Guide to Documentary Editing, 2d edition (Baltimore:
Johns Hopkins University Press, 1998). Recent issues of the Association
for Documentary Editors' magazine, Documentary Editing, may also prove
useful in answering specific questions.
